Posted: 1/7/2023 (CSDE Research)
Congratulations are due to CSDE Affiliate Arthur Acolin (Real Estate) who was recently awarded an NIH R21 grant to entitled ‘Gentrification, Mobility, and Exposure to Contextual Determinants of Health.’ The project will examine how gentrification affects mobility patterns at the neighborhood levels and changes exposure to contextual determinants of health that have been shown to contribute to social and race/ethnic inequalities in health. The proposed research leverages consumer trace data from Data Axle that have broad population coverage and high temporal and spatial specificity to further our understanding of gentrification, mobility, and health disparities. Acolin graciously acknowledged the support from CSDE, writing “from start to finish [CSDE support] was key from the grant writing workshop with Kyle [Crowder] and feedback from Steve [Goodreau] to Belinda’s [Sachs] wonderful assistance putting together all the elements of the proposal, as well as the financial support for access to Data Axle data and the UW Data Collaborative infrastructure and data access support from Phil.”
