UCI News: “UCI researchers receive state funding to study pandemic forecasting”

March 16, 2022

COVID Modeling Consortium resources designed to strengthen response to future outbreaks

UCI is one of four UC system institutions to receive COVID Modeling Consortium funding recently for projects devoted to improving our understanding coronavirus detection and impact, virus transmission and behavior, mitigation strategies and social and behavioral considerations. Led by Vladimir Minin, professor of statistics, a research team will conduct a study to improve accuracy and precision of COVID-19 forecasts and scenarios through analysis of inputs from multiple data sources.
