Grant and Funding Opportunity Announcements
Application Deadline: 7/10/2009
Our Regional Small Grants program seeks proposals for social science research on issues salient to low-income populations in the American South. The American South, as defined by UKCPR, is the 16-state Southern Legislative Conference. This program provides awards of up to $20,000. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Child and family well being. Examples include health insurance, health outcomes, marriage and family (e.g. Healthy Marriage Initiative), self sufficiency, transfer program participation, deep poverty, child care, and barriers to employment.
- Labor-market outcomes. Examples include labor force participation, earnings, income volatility, multiple job holding, and welfare-to-work transitions.
- Human capital accumulation. Examples include early childhood interventions, formal schooling, and welfare-to-work training.
- Interaction of federal, state, local, and non-governmental programs (e.g. faith-based) and their effects on low-income families.
- The impact of the current recession on the poor and effects of various stimulus package measures on this population.
