The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $117,721 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to support the "Collaborative Research: Science with the People" project. This two-year grant, funded under the CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, will enable residents to analyze government health data to document and examine patterns of health and well-being in their communities. The project will build capacity for ongoing collaborative science work on environmental health justice and health equity by empowering residents to interpret official data, augmenting their own insights about local health and environmental issues. The final deliverable is an online manual to explain how residents in other regions can replicate this community-based process of analyzing government data to address local health questions.
