Team B Competitive Discretionary Grant Allocation Equity Analysis

Each year, federal funding in the form of competitive discretionary grants is distributed to communities across Massachusetts for various projects and purposes. The goal of this project is to examine the equity of this allocation process on a local level, especially amongst BIPOC, low-income, and underserved communities. By creating a data analysis, repeatable process for metric reporting, an interactive site, and more, we hope to help Senator Markey’s office determine which parts of MA continue to be underserved in the allocation process.
