This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs will fund research at Penn State University from February 2022 to January 2023 to understand the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food assistance use in urban Alaska. Through an innovative methodology using mobile phone data and spatial analysis, the research team will evaluate links between social and demographic variables and food pantry access. This will help identify "food insecurity hotspots" with the greatest need. Working with local partners, findings will be rapidly disseminated to stakeholders and used to inform food assistance programs and curriculum development. The research aims to improve household security for vulnerable and low-income Alaskans during periods of crisis. The award supports the NSF's mission through evaluation of intellectual merit and broader impacts.
