Young Investigator Development Grants

The University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research (UKCPR), in cooperation with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, seeks proposals from untenured, junior faculty for social science research on issues salient to low-income populations in the United States.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, persistent poverty, labor-market outcomes, human capital accumulation, transfer-program participation, child and family well being, and the economic status of disadvantaged and underrepresented populations. Although not required, a preference will be given to proposals that address poverty in the American South, and to those based on secondary data analyses. The award cap is $7,500.
