Utica College Awarded Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 卫生数据促进行动 Grant
Study to Look at Communities Impacted by COVID-19 Recession
Utica College has been awarded a data access grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to conduct studies using highly-valued datasets. RWJF is the nation’s largest philanthropic organization dedicated solely to health. 14个受赠人之一, Utica College researchers will work with data from TransUnion Healthcare as part of RWJF’s signature research program, 卫生数据促进行动, 由学院健康管理, the professional home for health services and policy researchers.
The Utica College team is led by Michael McCarthy, assistant professor and director of Data Science, 斯蒂芬妮·内斯比特, dean of the School of Business and Justice Studies. 他们, 还有同事和学生, will examine the socio-economic assessment of communities during the COVID-19 recession.
The goal of the study is to better understand uneven socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on communities in New York, 北卡罗莱纳, 亚利桑那州, 加州, 弗吉尼亚和德克萨斯. Among the questions to be answered: did regions with higher proportions of racial and ethnic minorities experience disproportionate economic distress during and after the COVID recession? Did regions already dealing with economic distress face even greater difficulties due to the pandemic’s recession? How did it affect metropolitan areas and the surrounding suburban and rural areas? The data will also help researchers understand the impacts of the COVID recession on the Mohawk Valley and Upstate New York.
The investigative group is one of multiple teams working together as the Intermountain COVID-19 Impact Consortium (ICIC), which includes researchers from Utica College, 纽约州立大学杂物, Bassett 研究 Institute and SUNY Cobleskill, studying impacts of the pandemic in east-central New York state.
除了麦卡锡和内斯比特, 团队成员包括:帕特里斯·哈洛克, director of the Institute for the Study of Integrative Healthcare, Utica College; Mehmet Sencicek, associate professor of Economics and Finance, Utica College; Jing-Mao Ho, assistant professor of Sociology and Data Science, Utica College; Alex Thomas, professor of Sociology at 纽约州立大学杂物 and executive director of the PLACES Institute; Greg Fulkerson, professor and chair of Sociology at 纽约州立大学杂物 and Director of Environmental Demography at the PLACES Institute; Lauren Hahn, 研究员, Utica College; Jesseca Johnson, 研究生研究助理, Utica College; and Brian Urban, 研究生助理, 达特茅斯学院.
While there was no direct monetary award to Utica College, the data access funded by RWJF is highly valuable and will enable these important analyses into the uneven socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, 麦卡锡说,.
