FY24 NSF PIPP Phase II Opportunity Kick-off

NSF is organizing a set of activities around the broad theme of Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP). The PIPP initiative focuses on foundational research and development activities needed to tackle grand challenges in infectious disease pandemics through prediction and prevention. The PIPP Phase II Centers Program expands upon the Phase I Development Grant Program and is the NSF's flagship program to establish a network of Centers or large-scale awards/investments that will support interdisciplinary team-based approaches to accelerate research and development activities in emerging infectious diseases and pandemics. The overall goal of the PIPP Phase II Centers program is to support research and development activities needed to transform society's ability to forecast the likelihood of pandemic-scale events, detect outbreaks early, and respond efficiently.

The program invites proposals for Centers that have a principal focus in one of the following multidisciplinary themes:

• Theme 1: Pre-emergence - Predicting and detecting rare events in complex, dynamical systems
• Theme 2: Data, AI/ML and Design - Computing, manufacturing and technology innovation for pandemics
• Theme 3: The Host as the Universe - Identifying host-pathogen tipping points that dictate control or spread of an infection
• Theme 4: Human Systems - The role of human behavior, activities and environments in disease emergence, transmission, and response or mitigation

This program is limited, with submissions due internally by 5:00 pm August 14, 2023. Find more information here: https://asu.infoready4.com/#freeformCompetitionDetail/1911334
