Colleagues, I received this today from one of the listservs to which I subscribe. There are many people in the College whom I believe would find this opportunity interesting. Work in this field would certainly fit well within NCSU's public service mission. Please let me or the research office staff know if you'd like to apply.

Dear Colleague:
The Research Program on Childhood Hunger was established at the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research (UKCPR) in September 2010 with funding from the Food and Nutrition Service in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The co-directors of this initiative are Dr. Craig Gundersen, Professor of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois, and Dr. James Ziliak, Gatton Chair in Microeconomics at the University of Kentucky and Director of UKCPR.
In this program we seek to develop a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of why children experience food insecurity in the United States. To this end UKCPR will competitively award grants to qualified individuals and institutions to provide rigorous research that expands our understanding of hunger among children in the United States and the attendant policy implications. Summaries of grants awarded in the past two years under this mechanism are available at http://www.ukcpr.org/
Letters of intent are due October 24, 2012, and full proposals are due December 3, 2012. The full RFP is available athttp://www.ukcpr.org/Task_
Please direct administrative questions to Ms. Stephanie Fahs at < ukcpr@uky.edu > .
