Since 1980 an unknown number of migrants, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, have died trying to enter the United States along the US-Mexico border. Despite the size of this tragedy, there is no central database on migrant deaths. As a consequence, national authorities, policymakers, and public health officials not only do not know how many people are dying, but also do not know how federal, state, and local policies impact migrant mortality. This award funds the creation of the Migrant Mortality Mapping Portal Project (M3P2), a website to document, count and map migrant deaths. The project has two parts. The first part is the collection and organization of a large amount of data on migrant deaths along the US-Mexico border from various sources, ranging from law enforcement reports to newspaper articles. The second part is the development of a public-facing website through which these data can be downloaded and explored. The M3P2 website includes tools for exploring the data that can be used by anyone who wants to study the phenomenon of migrant deaths at the US-Mexico border. The website not only makes it easier to count migrant deaths but also makes possible research on topics related to forensics, social and behavioral sciences, public health, geography, and geographic information science. It will also help design better policies, improve public health, make search and recovery easier, and help reunite families with their loved ones’ remains.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

自1980年以来，人数不详的移民在试图沿美墨边境进入美国时死亡，人数从数千人到数万人不等。尽管这场悲剧规模巨大，但没有关于外来务工人员死亡的中央数据库。因此，国家当局、政策制定者和公共卫生官员不仅不知道有多少人死亡，而且也不知道联邦、州和地方政策如何影响移民死亡率。该奖项资助了移民死亡率测绘门户项目(M3P2)的创建，这是一个记录、统计和绘制移民死亡人数地图的网站。该项目包括两个部分。第一部分是从各种来源收集和整理大量关于美墨边境移民死亡的数据，从执法报告到报纸文章。第二部分是开发一个面向公众的网站，通过该网站可以下载和浏览这些数据。M3P2网站包括一些工具，用于探索数据，任何想要研究美墨边境移民死亡现象的人都可以使用这些数据。该网站不仅使统计移民死亡人数变得更容易，而且还使有关取证、社会和行为科学、公共卫生、地理和地理信息科学等主题的研究成为可能。它还将帮助设计更好的政策，改善公共卫生，使搜索和恢复变得更容易，并帮助家庭与亲人的遗体团聚。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
