This research was conducted by Sean Boots, Prof. Amanda Clarke, Anne Lajoie, and Chantal Brousseau from the School of Public Policy and Administration and the Data Science and Analytics program at Carleton University. It expands on an earlier Ottawa Civic Tech project from 2017-2019 and was made possible by funding from the Government of Ontario’s Early Researcher Award program and the support of the Canada School of Public Service Public Servant-in-Residence program.
