Deadline: 1-Dec-22
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced the applications for Developing a Public Health Tool to Predict the Virality of Vaccine Misinformation Narratives.
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to conduct research to develop and pilot a predictive model and tool to aid federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial public health agencies in identifying emerging vaccine misinformation about recommended vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, that is likely to spread and have a high potential for impacting vaccine confidence. This research and tool will give public health agencies the ability to identify misinformation that may impact vaccine confidence before spreading or impacting people’s health decisions.
