National Science Foundation Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Current epidemiological models have proved insufficient to understanding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to human behavioral and social processes that are missing from the models.
These processes include structural characteristics such as differential living conditions and patterns of social interaction, and behavioral characteristics such as responsiveness to incentives and information by different segments of the population.
As a result, the mathematical models and, tools for model analyses and simulations that were developed to respond to the pandemic were not as effective or useful as they could have been.
The IHBEM program is motivated by the urgent need to provide more reliable modeling tools to inform decision making and to evaluate public health policies during pandemics and other public health crises, with the premise that important advances may be made by incorporating human behavioral and social processes in mathematical epidemiological models.
The goal of this program is to minimize unintended outcomes of public health interventions.
Deadline for applications: Submission window: April 3 - April 14, 2023

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Interest in Research on Climate Change and Healthcare
AHRQ has a special interest in receiving health services research grant applications that address the intersection of climate change and healthcare. Applications that address the following areas are of heightened interest:
- Reducing the healthcare sector’s greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint.
- Creating resilient healthcare systems and communities that can plan, prepare, respond, and adapt to climate-related threats.
- Addressing the inequitable impacts of climate change.
Climate change is the leading threat to public health, contributing to both individual health problems and broader disruptions to vital infrastructure and the healthcare system.
The healthcare industry is not only a responder to climate events, but a significant contributor to climate change through its emissions.
Research and action are needed on both fronts and must be guided by an equity lens that prioritizes protecting and empowering individuals and communities that face the highest risks and bear the highest burdens of environmental pollution and a changing climate.
Applications in these areas are being accepted through multiple programs.
Deadline for applications: varies based on program
