Grant Reviewers' Comments

"The combination of spatial data with consumption and foot-traffic data will be an important contribution. This study is well-poised to ask a lot of other questions, perhaps larger in their scope. Regional analysis might uncover cultural and political insights regarding human behavior as we deal with the pandemic. This is such a great proposal, keep an eye on the bigger questions that can be answered by understanding how we have or haven't responded to the pandemic."

"This is an excellent proposal on a timely and pressing question - the effects of covid-19 on neighborhoods. The project seeks to empirically tackle the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on different neighborhoods. It's original, innovative and empirically sound."

"Excellent project design with innovative methods, situated in the literature, and addressing a significant gap in the scholarship with broader societal consequences."
