The National Institute of Health allowed $40 million in grants to its own Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) to develop simulations of how a disease would spread given the nature of the disease and the affected population.
With the sudden initial spreads of SARS, MRSA (a drug-resistant form of Staphylococcus aureus), and H1N1 in the past decade, researchers believe that developing more effective models would be vital to developing an effective response to an outbreak.
