Synopsis of Program:
This solicitation is for Development Grants as part of NSF’s new Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) initiative. This initiative focuses on fundamental research and capabilities needed to
tackle grand challenges in infectious disease pandemics through prediction and prevention. NSF anticipates releasing a Phase II Center Grants solicitation around 2023. Note that submission or award of a Development Grant is not required to participate in the anticipated PIPP Phase II Center Grants competition.
The PIPP Phase I initiative intends to support planning activities encompassing (1) articulation of a grand challenge centered around a critical and broad question in pandemic predictive intelligence; (2) proposals of novel conceptual research and technology developments that aim to advance state-of-the-art forecasting, real-time monitoring, mitigation, and prevention

Though other pandemics have affected the U.S. over the past 100 years, COVID-19 has been compared most often to the 1918 influenza pandemic in terms of its impact. Both events overwhelmed the health care system and drastically altered everyday life across the country.
Decades of NSF research led to innovations such as polymerase chain reaction-based DNA analysis and the bacterial enzyme CRISPR. Building on this work, scientists and engineers were able to quickly respond to the country’s immediate needs discovering how the virus works and identifying methods to track its spread. Their contributions also laid the foundation for the rapid development of treatments and vaccines to protect people from the virus.
Hampton woman selected for Hack.Diversity Fellowship
