Supports innovative research that identifies sources of spatial uncertainty (i.e., inaccuracy or instability of spatial or geographic information) in public health data, incorporates the inaccuracy or instability into statistical methods, and develops novel tools to visualize the nature and consequences of spatial uncertainty.
a. General area of interest: Spatial uncertainty in health/environmental interactions due to data heterogeneity across the border, at local, regional, and hemisphere scales.

i. R03 Maximum $50k per year for 2 years.
ii. R21 Maximum $275k total over two years.
iii. R01 No maximum. Up to 5 years.
