Proposal Feedback: Fragile Families

[jtpraino]

Very thorough description of the project, it seems like you’re all very invested in the study, and it’s a cool one. You have some big hurdles ahead, my biggest concern is going to be how do you plan to collect and work with the data.

You have very good intents with what you want to accomplish, but I feel like finding related data will be your biggest struggle. You claim you will be relying on measures of affordability to make all your analyses, but I wonder what this data actually looks like. Is it historic? How many cities are you observing?

I think you guys have a lot of your plate, and maybe your scope is too large. Good luck.

Hey @jtpraino could you clarify some things for me about your review of our proposal? It would really help us out.

1. Could you elaborate as to a specific concern with our data collection? Other groups have mentioned data related to income and in particular, data on the "number of people who are on the verge of homelessness". If you specify the data-collection concern, we will be better able to address it.

2. We have a few ideas about how we could measure affordability, but it is becoming apparent that a pivot may be in order. If you have any ideas for related areas, perhaps more specific areas to analyze- then we would be very grateful.

Thanks.
