This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $144,584 to Southern Methodist University (SMU) will be used to develop the WECAN SMART Toolkit. The WECAN toolkit will couple crowd-sourced data, machine learning, network analysis, and agent-based modeling to support community-driven decision making and address inequities in neighborhood infrastructure. Specifically, the planning process will involve focus groups, interviews, and software requirements meetings to identify barriers and opportunities for equitable infrastructure decision-making. The research questions focus on understanding how social and physical infrastructure networks impact community wellbeing, using novel data analytics methods, and evaluating the impact of the WECAN tools on infrastructure prioritization. The award supports this one-year planning project, with planned subawards, to advance these goals in partnership with the City of Dallas, nonprofits, and other stakeholders.
