Grant Description: The U.S. continues to experience social changes relating to the economy, demographics, and the social and behavioral functioning of individuals and families and the well-being of children. The manner by which government and others react to or precipitates these changes also is in a state of evolution. A key way that these issues are examined by HHS is by studying the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality as well as policy and program responses to ameliorate poverty and inequality and there impacts on Americans. In order to further these efforts and inform the public, HHS is soliciting applications from university-based institutions for a cooperative agreement. The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) expects to fund the National Poverty Research Center for a period of three (3) years. The first year of funding for a National Poverty Research Center will be approximately $750,000 (combined direct and indirect funding). Subject to the availability of future funds we expect to fund a second year at $650,000 and a third and final year at $500,000 for total federal funding of $1.9 million over the three year period for the center with increasing matching requirements from non-federal sources over the term of the agreement. No federal funding is anticipated beyond the third year. Central to the mission of the poverty research center program is capacity building - supporting faculty research and faculty training; enhancing campus-wide awareness of issues related to poverty; and supporting and mentoring students in poverty and low-income policy related careers. Work of the current poverty centers includes: 1) expanding the knowledge of the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality as well as responses to ameliorate poverty and its impacts on Americans, 2) providing a core of multi-disciplinary researchers, as well as a network of scholars who focus their research on poverty and the poor, 3) developing and training future social science researchers whose work focuses on poverty and the poor, 4) continuation of the work on the improvement of methods and data to permit a fuller understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality and the social policies and programs meant to alleviate it, and 5) maintaining a network for the dissemination of findings to the policy and research communities through newsletters, working papers, special reports and briefings.
