\n Congratulations Dr. Jennifer Ridgley and Dr. Sophie Tamas, recipients of the Carleton University COVID-19 Rapid Response Research Grants Competition\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

From the Carleton Office for Research Initiatives and Services CU COVID-19 Rapid Research Response Grants<\/a> announcement, “In response to COVID-19, Carleton University swiftly developed an internal funding opportunity to provide seed funding for individuals or teams of researchers for original, innovative, and time-sensitive research to propose solutions to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, or to apply to external research grant competitions targeting the COVID-19 pandemic. The research had to have the potential to contribute to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, or to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and\/or its negative consequences on people and communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Professor Jennifer Ridgley<\/a> was awarded a grant to research, Public Health Enforcement, Social Justice, and the Uneven Geographies of COVID-19 Containment.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This project focuses on the social geography of pandemic management. Using a social justice lens, it will examine the effectiveness of municipal efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 through the regulation of public space, and the impact these efforts have had on marginalized communities and residents in Ottawa, Ontario. An in-depth case study of municipal pandemic management in Ottawa will help inform public health, policy, and community responses to COVID-19, and will serve as a pilot study to develop an effective methodology for comparative research in other cities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Professor Sophie Tamas<\/a> was awarded a grant to research, Ho<\/em>w to Help? A review of Community Group Responses to Collective Trama.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This project aims to provide research support to help community groups in the small town of Almonte, Ontario, figure out how to respond to a high concentration of local COVID-19 deaths. It will do so by employing a skilled research assistant to review pertinent academic and practitioner sources in order to gather key points from the literature and translate them into plain language reports tailored to local needs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
