    The document outlines a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) from the CDC, inviting applications for the Modeling Infectious Diseases in Healthcare (MInD Healthcare) initiative to enhance pathogen prevention and healthcare delivery. The application deadline is March 19, 2025, with funding expected between $16.5 million and $19.5 million for projects focusing on mathematical modeling of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial-resistant organisms (AROs). Eligible applicants include state and local governments, educational institutions, and nonprofits. The program aims to develop computational models to understand pathogen transmission in healthcare settings, predict outbreaks, and evaluate intervention effectiveness. A priority is to address health disparities and health equity, particularly among vulnerable populations at increased risk of infections. The document specifies required strategies, including conducting modeling activities related to various pathogens and providing workforce development opportunities for early-career public health modelers. The awarded projects will collaborate within the MInD Healthcare Network to enhance scientific knowledge and optimize infection prevention strategies. The funding initiative emphasizes innovative approaches in disease dynamics, data collection, and model validation, contributing to public health preparedness and decision-making.
