The Division of Research established the Interdisciplinary Collaboration Grants (ICG) Program to provide funds to facilitate the development of collaborations at Binghamton University. This program is for investigators who seek to enhance their research opportunities through collaboration and may include projects that represent a new research agenda. Proposals from all areas of scholarship are encouraged.
The request for ICG proposals for the 2025-26 cycle is now open with a deadline of February 14, 2025. Please use this to access the Request for Proposals and the application portal.
Two projects received funding in the program's 2024-2025 round of awards:
"A Multiscale Modeling Framework to Incorporate Human Behavior into
Epidemiological Models鈥擜 Preliminary Study"
Principal Investigators and Departments:
Jia Zhao (Mathematics and Statistics), Changqing Cheng (Systems Science and Industrial Engineering)
This ICG project combines interdisciplinary endeavors from mathematics and engineering to develop a novel multiscale modeling framework for infectious diseases by integrating human behavior. The proposed framework will employ a multiscale coupling strategy, incorporating mesoscopic agent-based models with macroscopic compartment models to establish more realistic and predictive epidemic models. These models will consider human individual and collective behaviors, such as adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions and mobility patterns, to enhance the prediction accuracy, provide valuable insights for health policy, and potentially improve responses to future pandemic outbreaks. This project will foster research collaboration and training at the intersection of mathematics and engineering at 黑料视频.
"A multimodal investigation of repetitive head impact exposure from
sports on neurophysiology, cognition, and neurological and clinical outcomes"
Principal Investigators and Departments:
Chao Shi (Systems Science and Industrial Engineering), Vipul Lugade (Physical Therapy), Michael Dulas (Psychology)
