During the fall 2022 semester, this collaborative effort with the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC) was a brand-new project at CAASI, and as such, the research questions were yet to be fully fleshed out. We explored bringing students into a direct relationship with practitioners, starting small at first (analyzing data based on a request), then moving into larger projects as relationships were established. Some proposed topics were: creating an early warning system for properties with Allegheny County Health Department or HUD inspection violations, or providing intelligence on housing investors. This project was led by Magda Gangwar (Masters student in GSPIA) and Bob Gradeck.
