The researcher will also consult on related IWPR projects such as cost/benefit analyses of child-care programs, higher education, and other key and emerging issues that affect women's economic well-being. Besides conducting research and communicating it to IWPR's audiences, the researcher at IWPR also develops programs for future research and assists in securing funds for the Institute's work. The researcher also represents IWPR at meetings with other researchers, with local, state, and federal policymakers, and with coalitions working to enact policy change.
