The COVID-19 Forecast Hub
This site maintains the authoritative, up-to-date record for forecasts of COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations in the US, created by dozens of leading infectious disease modeling teams from around the globe, in coordination with CDC.
Up-to-date forecasts
Every Monday dozens of modeling teams from across the globe submit forecasts of the trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak in the US to our forecast data repository. We take these data and build a single ensemble forecast.
Public health impact
COVID-19 Forecast Hub data are used by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the data journalism site FiveThirtyEight. Through these channels, and our public data repository, our work serves as a vital source of public information about where the outbreak is headed next.
We are hiring!
We have an open position for a post-doctoral researcher to join our team to work on applied and methodological research on forecasting and ensemble modeling. Strong quantitative background and formal training in statistics, machine learning, data science, computational epidemiology, or a closely related field is required.
