The federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program), provides $554,035 to Digital Organizing, Power-Building And Engagement Labs (Dope Labs) to develop community-driven data collection and analysis tools to understand the impact of structural racism on Black longevity. The project aims to leverage mobile technology and agent-based modeling to capture the lived experiences of African American and Black immigrant residents in segregated neighborhoods, and identify environmental, social, cultural, and behavioral factors that drive disparities in life expectancy. As a subawardee, Dope Labs will provide training, technical assistance, and licensing for its Streetwyze software platform to collect and visualize community data. The project runs from September 2024 to May 2028 and is part of the NIMHD's broader effort to support innovative research addressing complex health challenges and reducing disparities in minority populations.
