Case Study: Rutgers University helps Lauren Grodstein secure grant funding with PolicyMap

Rutgers University - Customer Case Study

Rutgers University used PolicyMap to help English professor and novelist Lauren Grodstein build data-backed support for a grant proposal. She needed credible demographic and socioeconomic information to shape a writing project focused on some of the least ethnically diverse parts of the United States.

Using PolicyMap through Rutgers University’s university-wide license, she quickly pulled county-level diversity rankings along with income and election data to identify five target counties and strengthen her application. PolicyMap helped her cite clear, specific evidence in the proposal, which contributed to the grant being approved and enabled her to begin traveling for the project.
