Program Title:
Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Synopsis of Program:
The Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM) program supports research that incorporates social and behavioral processes in mathematical epidemiological models. The program provides support for projects that involve integrated participation from the mathematical and social, behavioral, and economic sciences.
Broadening Participation In STEM:
NSF has a mandate to broaden participation in science and engineering, as articulated and reaffirmed in law since 1950. Congress has charged NSF to “develop intellectual capital, both people and ideas, with particular emphasis on groups and regions that traditionally have not participated fully in science, mathematics, and engineering."
