This multi-country project will investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on care providers and recipients, identify care system’s strengths and weaknesses, and recommend policy improvements. Teams from Brazil, Colombia, Canada, France, UK, and US will coordinate research on national care systems to understand why care systems proved inefficient in providing care and protecting care workers. Project teams will collect and analyze large and innovative data sets on the care industries in these countries. By providing a unified approach to studying a fractured care system across countries, this research project will make a significant contribution to the literature on the care industry. The results of this research project will provide important inputs into policies to improve care as well as the care labor market. The results of this research will also help to establish the U.S. as a global leader in care giving research and policy.The project will study the matrix of fragmented and uncoordinated care provision and identify polices and regulations that shape care and its provision at different levels of governance. This cross-national study will explore four aspects of the care market: (i) the impact of the pandemic on needs and modalities of care provision; (ii) labor conditions and rights in a post pandemic world; (iii) care as a strategic dimension and pillar for public policies on social infrastructure rebuilding; and (iv) care giving strategies when the state fails. Brazil, Colombia, Canada, France, UK, and US will serve as test beds and provide variation in societal characteristics crucial to understanding the different configurations of care across national governance, welfare regimes, health-care systems’, and jurisdiction over health policy. The research results will provide major inputs into the formulation and implementation of care giving and care labor market policies in the world.

The debate focuses on changes in skill composition of the labor force, returns to skills such as education attainment and unobserved skills, and in institutions such as unions, minimum wage, and trade agreements. The Covid-19 pandemic shocked the global economy with implications for earnings, education, skills, and jobs, and thus inequality and the design of public policy responses. This project will use a coherent framework, across the major economies of Europe and North America, to study a broad set of inequalities and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed these inequalities , and how policy in each economy has responded. This research project goes beyond the description and causes of inequality trends across countries, to study the potential role of policies at different stages on different groups. It also looks at how human capital policies and labor market regulations influence market inequalities, and how taxes and transfers can reduce inequalities in disposable income. The results of this will provide important inputs into labor market policies that could increase incomes and reduce income inequality in developed countries. The results will also help establish the US as the global leader in equality of labor market outcomes.The project involves a network of 17 groups of researchers from across Europe and North America to understand the drivers of economic inequalities across high income countries. The teams will mobilize a vast array of data sources to study in detail differences across educational attainment, race, ethnicity, and immigration status, and the mechanisms by which households are able to smooth income shocks. In some countries the survey data include a direct link to administrative records, permitting a more rich and accurate assessment of inequalities across countries and the life course. The team from the United States will use both public-access data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social Economic Supplement (ASEC), as well as restricted access survey and administrative that provides a direct link between the CPS ASEC and Social Security Administration’s Detailed Earnings Records (DER). The project then proceeds with four related research strands. The first strand uses harmonized data to study the evolution of several economic inequalities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second strand examines labor market inequalities in detail. The third strand highlights the role of education and training for non-university attendees and focusses on the impact of large cross-country differences in educational systems on inequality. The final strand looks at the tax and welfare systems and their effectiveness at addressing family income inequality. The results of this will provide important inputs into labor market policies that could increase incomes and reduce income inequality in developed countries.

Reports of this international geopolitical crisis have instantaneously flooded traditional and social media outlets with graphic videos and images of injuries, death, and destruction – media coverage known to correlate with poor physical and mental health outcomes. But the Ukraine War is occurring in the broader context of the COVID-19 pandemic whose worldwide death toll exceeds 6 million people, escalating climate-related crises, economic volatility and inflation, race-driven social unrest, extreme partisanship, and low confidence in the scientific and social institutions tasked with protecting the public. Direct and media-based exposure to these unprecedented cascading collective traumas are likely to have profound effects on the mental and physical health of Americans. Effective management of these compounding crises requires policies that people support and public adoption of recommended behaviors. This project assesses psychological reactions to the Ukraine War among a large probability-based nationally representative sample of over 6,500 Americans from the NORC AmeriSpeak panel. They have been surveyed three times since March 2020. Early responses and beliefs about the war in Ukraine are collected as the media transitions from heavy coverage of COVID-19 to heavy coverage of the conflict. Analyses examine how intolerance for uncertainty, emotion regulation, trust in government, and social identities may explain the association between media exposure and emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to the war. This study investigates how fears and worries about these multiple ongoing threats are compounding negative mental health outcomes and impacting those for whom this multiplicative effect is most detrimental. Finally, this project investigates how war-related media exposure may motivate people to take positive action (e.g., prosocial behavior) to help refugees and defend Ukraine’s democracy. Embedding this project in the larger study of the COVID-19 pandemic allows examination of national responses to compounding global crises as they evolve, producing theoretically rich research with practical importance. Results inform policy makers when communicating publicly about multiple existential threats and their potential solutions so they can better promote public well-being without inducing further worry, distress, or emotional exhaustion.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "359", "attributes": { "award_id": "2224086", "title": "What explains ambitious climate policy?

At the same time, these countries introduced vast COVID-19 economic recovery packages and fiscal reforms that may either serve to strengthen or upset existing carbon-intensive economic systems. This project will study how long-term climate goals, as indicated in countries’ NDCs, and short-term implementation of climate policies through pandemic recovery spending plans affect each other and why some countries lead in climate policy implementation, while others lag. The study is based on the collection of and analyses of large data sets across several countries. This study, to be carried out by research teams from several countries, will help identify opportunities for policymakers and international financial institutions on how to promote and implement climate change policy ambitions. In addition to helping to understand cross country differences in climate policy implementation, the results of this research will provide inputs into formulating efficient and innovative climate policies in the US.This research project will study two inter-related issues. First, it studies the links between long-term national climate ambitions enshrined in NDC updates and short-term implementation plans embedded in COVID-19 recovery packages, and fiscal reform. Second, it investigates the political and economic drivers underlying differences in climate ambitions and implementation abilities in these types of policy intervention across countries. To do so, the project integrates political science and economics, focusing on the role of policy feedback and financing conditions in driving climate ambition and climate policy interventions. In a mixed-methods design, the project combines descriptive statistical analyses with qualitative comparative case studies in the three analytical tasks. The intellectual merit of this project lies in identifying patterns in the relationship of long-term climate targets and plans (NDCs) and short-term implementation (economic recovery spending) as well as the causes of cross-national variation in this relationship.

Existing mathematical frameworks, however, have been slow to adapt to sudden changes in disease spread dynamics resulting from the waning vaccine immunity and emergence of COVID-19 variants such as delta and omicron. This project will address these challenges by developing data-driven mathematical modeling tools which divide populations according to factors that have distinct characteristics, such as those due to differences in vaccination status and the spread of virus variants. As COVID-19 evolves and becomes endemic in the global population, the developed frameworks will guide public health officials in evaluating the effectiveness of potential vaccination strategies and assessing the capacity of variants to alter the course of disease spread. This will facilitate targeted and impactful policies rather than disruptive population-wide restrictions and lockdowns. The project will engage undergraduate students in topical applied mathematics research and support underrepresented students in STEM with a particular focus on the African American community in Metro Detroit. The project will additionally advance curricular and program development at Lawrence Technological University, which will enhance the institution's research environment and further the principal investigator’s professional goal of establishing a sustained, student-focused, and interdisciplinary research program in mathematical biology at Lawrence Technological University.Traditional mathematical modeling frameworks of infectious disease spread often ignore factors of heterogeneous spread within a population. This can lead to poor estimates of epidemiological parameters (such as the basic reproduction number and herd immunity threshold), mistaken assessments of the mechanisms of disease spread, and inaccurate forecasts. This project will develop the theory and application of compartmental SIR-type (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) models, which are associated with a system of ordinary differential equations, to incorporate variances in a population's vaccination coverage level, differing waning immunity periods, and competition between virus variants with distinct epidemiological characteristics. Waning immunity will be incorporated through a gamma-distributed delay on return to susceptibility after vaccination or previous infection. The resulting distributed delay differential equations will be analyzed and numerically simulated using the linear chain trick, which reduces gamma-distributed delays to a linear chain of exponential delays. Case data from The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services will be used to parametrize and validate the models with the goal of providing insightful forecasts for the spread of COVID-19 under different immunization schedules. Virus variants will be incorporated by dividing the infectious class into distinct compartments with variant-specific parameters, such as variances in transmissibility, severity, vaccine resistance, reinfection rate, and diagnostic detection. The goal will be to establish novel critical thresholds for when a virus variant can persist or become dominant in a population as well as address the inverse question of estimating a variant's epidemiological parameters from its early-stage growth. By controlling a population's vaccination coverage level, the developed models will be able to cut through the complexity of case incidence data to provide critical insights into the primary factors driving disease spread. User-friendly computational packages capable of implementing the models and interfacing with public health databases will be developed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "357", "attributes": { "award_id": "2223914", "title": "Pandemic Communication in Time of Populism: Building Resilient Media and Ensuring Effective Pandemic Communication in Divided Societies", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 645, "first_name": "Kwabena", "last_name": "Gyimah-Brempong", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2022-05-01", "end_date": "2024-04-30", "award_amount": 199516, "principal_investigator": { "id": 647, "first_name": "Marlene", "last_name": "Laruelle", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 646, "first_name": "Daniel C", "last_name": "Hallin", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This project uses several methods to study how populist politicians distorted COVID-19 pandemic health communication to encourage polarized attitudes and distrust among citizens, thus making them more vulnerable to misinformation generally. It also studies how best to counter these populist narratives and develop more effective communication channels. The research studies four areas of communication: government led pandemic communication, media policy, media coverage, and public attitudes towards the media. The project makes an important contribution to research on populist communication and political polarization by bringing two fields of expertise–populist communication and public health–together. The research will inform recommendations aimed at building more resilient media organizations that are better equipped to withstand the challenges of future pandemics in divided societies. By helping to improve the quality of health communication, this research will help to improve the health, hence living standards of US citizens. This project will develop the first comprehensive, comparative study of health crisis communication in the context of populist politics and examines the impact of populism on four aspects of the pandemic communication circuit during COVID-19: government-led health crisis communication, media policy, media coverage, and public attitudes. The project will also study how best to counter these populist narratives and develop more efficient and reliable communication. The focus is on four countries---Brazil, Poland, Serbia, and the US---all led by populist leaders during the pandemic and capture different types of populist responses to the pandemic. The project also takes a transnational perspective to analyze how the interaction between populism and pandemic communication was shaped by China and Russia’s pandemic geopolitics. By helping to improve the quality of health communication, this research will help to improve the health, hence living standards of US citizens.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "13725", "attributes": { "award_id": "2127364", "title": "NNA Collaboratory: Collaborative Research: Arctic Cities: Measuring Urban Sustainability in Transition (MUST)", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)", "NNA-Navigating the New Arctic" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 3760, "first_name": "Colleen", "last_name": "Strawhacker", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2021-10-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 1798856, "principal_investigator": { "id": 647, "first_name": "Marlene", "last_name": "Laruelle", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 647, "first_name": "Marlene", "last_name": "Laruelle", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, { "id": 15972, "first_name": "Dmitry A", "last_name": "Streletskiy", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 15973, "first_name": "Nikolay", "last_name": "Shiklomanov", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, { "id": 29991, "first_name": "Kelsey", "last_name": "Nyland", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 174, "ror": "https://ror.org/00y4zzh67", "name": "George Washington University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "DC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF’s 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This Arctic research is needed to inform the economy, security and resilience of the Nation, the larger region and the globe. NNA empowers new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifies the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhances efforts in formal and informal education, and integrates the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award fulfills part of that aim by addressing interactions among social systems, natural environment, and built environment in the following NNA focus areas: Arctic Residents, Data and Observation, Education, Global Impact, and Resilient Infrastructure. <br/><br/>Arctic cities face multiple challenges from social and economic transformations, deteriorating infrastructure, a changing environment, and pressures on their governance systems. To respond effectively, mayors, city councils, agency leaders, local citizens and residents, and other stakeholders need a clear set of indicators to help them understand changes in Arctic conditions and provide guidance in devising infrastructure and governance strategies to achieve future prosperity and spur sustainability. This NNA Collaboratory project assesses numerous issues of urban sustainability and compiles a set of metrics on Arctic conditions that provides data about changes in several issues, including the natural environment, energy, and socio-cultural issues. With these indicators, policymakers and stakeholders can develop effective governance systems and design and build infrastructure to meet the challenges of a shifting natural environment and economy in Arctic urban areas. <br/><br/>This NNA Collaboratory expands upon a database of indicators on various topics in numerous cities on natural conditions in the Arctic. The Collaboratory cultivates theories and test hypotheses in the natural, social, and urban planning sciences by developing new indicators for Arctic conditions that include historical data, enabling examination of dynamic trends and relationships among the various components of urban sustainability. The Collaboratory advances a long-term research agenda and platform around Arctic urban sustainability by organizing collaborations among the Arctic research community and facilitating convergence research on the natural, social, and built environment transitions taking place in and around Arctic cities now and in the future. Indicators introduce a shared vocabulary with explicit measures and assumptions that allow scholars and others across disciplines to interact while providing a foundation for theory building and testing. Working with Indigenous and other communities, the Collaboratory also engages in case studies of divergent Arctic urban areas to examine city-level data for interlinkages among assorted elements of sustainability. Consequently, this NNA Collaboratory improves the ability of policymakers and stakeholders to promote sustainability by providing tools to measure progress, identify areas of most urgent need, select verifiable best practices, examine opportunity costs, and determine where external actors can have the greatest impact.<br/><br/>This project is supported by the NNA Program and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).<br/><br/>This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "356", "attributes": { "award_id": "2217427", "title": "Exploring the Role of Adaptive Capacity on Democratic Performance (ERAC-DP): Governmental and Nonprofit Organizations in the Pandemic", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 642, "first_name": "Kwabena", "last_name": "Gyimah-Brempong", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2022-05-01", "end_date": "2025-04-30", "award_amount": 199999, "principal_investigator": { "id": 644, "first_name": "Thomas A", "last_name": "Bryer", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 173, "ror": "", "name": "The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "FL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 643, "first_name": "Sofia Prysmakova", "last_name": "Rivera", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 173, "ror": "", "name": "The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "FL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This research project uses methods from several social sciences and comparative analysis to study how COVID-19 response policies can increase inequality, foster democratic governance, and political participation of vulnerable people. The research project will answer four questions: (i) what inequalities emerged for vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic? (ii) how did organizational adaptive capacities affect outcomes for vulnerable populations? (iii) how did adaptive capacities affect policy compliance of vulnerable populations? and (iv) what digital tools will facilitate a sustained collaboration (domestic and international) to enhance global and local action to reduce inequities and increase policy compliance? The study is based on case studies from Atlanta, GA, Montreal, Canada, Manchester, UK, and Warsaw Poland and uses a combination of theories from several social science fields and rich data collection and analyses. The results of this research project will help to answer important questions as to why groups are differentially affected by policies designed to help all and why policy compliance may differ across groups. The results could guide policy formulation and implementation during pandemics and other emergencies.This research uses embedded case studies in four countries---Canada, Poland, UK, and the US---to study how COVID-19 pandemic policies affected inequalities, and how this in turn affected political activism and policy responses of different groups. Specifically, the project will try to answer four questions: (i) what inequalities emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic? (ii) how did adaptive capacities affect outcomes for vulnerable populations? (iii) how did adaptive capacities affect policy compliance by vulnerable populations? and (iv) what digital tools will facilitate sustained collaboration to enhance global and local action to reduce inequities and increase policy compliance? The research will answer these questions using a methodology that combines theories from several social and behavioral sciences. In addition to academic research, the PIs propose to engage diverse policy makers to improve the policy impact of the research project. By addressing the impact of policies on inequality and political participation, this research project will make significant contributions to social and behavioral science research on policy impacts generally. The research results of this research project will provide inputs into policies to reduce inequalities as well as enhance political participation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 1419, "pages": 1424, "count": 14236 } } }
