This Project Grant award of $625,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund the development of the Neighborhood Rental Database. This database will provide real-time, representative data on local rent levels across the United States, helping decision-makers and researchers in the public and private sectors understand housing trends, design housing policies, and respond to economic changes. The Urban Institute, a...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $400,000 to New York University (NYU) to research neighborhood mobility patterns and their relationship to community well-being. The key products and services to be delivered include: Identifying biases in large-scale mobility data and developing methods to correct them; modeling neighborhood connectedness networks using mobility data and analyzing how...

This Project Grant award of $155,512 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at The Ohio State University to develop an accessible, dynamic model of pricing applied to wage and housing purchases. The project aims to understand how people assign value in these types of transactions, focusing on how individuals respond to competition and market changes. The research will involve a series of experiments testing...

The Northeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission (Ne Mo Regional Planning & Rural Development) will receive $300,000 through March 2024 from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Development Support for Planning Organizations program (CFDA 11.302) to support partnership planning efforts. Through this Project Grant award made on April 1, 2021, Ne Mo Regional Planning & Rural Development will create a regional economic development plan to guide the...

This $553,536 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) aims to develop a fairness auditing framework for predictive mobility models based on location data. The key products and services delivered through this 2-year award include: Building infrastructure, knowledge, and methods for creating spatial-temporal data through fair-aware generative AI models to enable...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will fund a $428,460 research program at the University of Chicago to develop improved econometric methods for understanding earnings heterogeneity in matched employer-employee data and intergenerational mobility. The research program consists of three projects: 1) re-examining the role of firm heterogeneity, worker heterogeneity, worker...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $382,047 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, will fund a research project investigating the role of amenities, residential preferences, mortgage lending practices, and real estate advertisements in neighborhood change processes. The project...

This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $201,690 will fund research at Princeton University to develop new methods for analyzing strongly correlated economic data across geographic space. The research will establish a formal framework for studying spatial unit root processes similar to time series analysis, derive tests to detect strong spatial correlation, and suggest methods to allow for valid statistical inference from spatially correlated data. Specific projects will...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, seeks to investigate transit-induced commercial and residential gentrification and displacement through a novel integration of historical business and household microdata with street-view imagery and online data. The $396,600 award to North Carolina State University, made on August 15, 2024, will develop advanced AI techniques and tools to analyze...

This NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $572,000 to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will fund research to develop advanced computational methods for solving heterogeneous-agent macroeconomic models. The research will focus on expanding the capabilities of sequence-space methods to enable the analysis of models with diverse types of heterogeneity, such as location choice and firm-level differences. Key deliverables include new...
