The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) seeks to fund extramural* research that will enhance our understanding of the relationship of family complexity to poverty and public policy, one of three integrated research themes shaping IRP’s research agenda as a DHHS/ASPE National Poverty Research Center.
IRP anticipates funding up to five projects, with a maximum award of $20,000 each, to emerging scholars as defined in the attached RFP. Grantees will benefit from consultation with IRP senior affiliates, with each other, and—during a workshop at which grantees will present their draft paper—with other senior poverty scholars.
Proposals should be e-mailed to IRP before 5 p.m. CST on Thursday, March 1, 2012.
Please share this announcement with interested scholars and post it on your electronic mailing lists.
Thanks very much!
*Please note that University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty and postdoctoral fellows are ineligible for this funding.
