ERS Awards Grants to Establish RIDGE Centers for Food and Nutrition Assistance Research

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:00 GMT

The Economic Research Service (ERS) has awarded grants to establish two research centers in the Research Innovation and Development Grants in Economics (RIDGE) Program. The new centers are the RIDGE Center for National Food and Nutrition Assistance Research at the Institute for Research on Poverty, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the RIDGE Center for Targeted Food and Nutrition Assistance Research at the Southern Rural Development Center, Mississippi State University. The centers partner with ERS to encourage new and innovative research on food assistance and nutrition issues and to broaden the participation of social science scholars in this research area. The national center will focus on food and nutrition issues that affect the Nation as a whole, while research at the targeted center will be directed at specific populations such as residents of rural areas, Native Americans, and immigrants. The RIDGE Centers oversee the application, peer review, sub-award, performance, and knowledge dissemination processes of the research projects. See the RIDGE Briefing Room for more information.

Request for Applications for Competitive Grant Awards to Conduct Economic Research on the Joint Contributions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Unemployment Insurance to the Nations Social Safety Net

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:00 GMT

The Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Program (FANRP) of the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) announces the availability of funds and a request for applications to conduct research on operational issues of USDAs Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly called the Food Stamp Program, or FSP) and its support for the working poor. In particular, ERS seeks research that addresses: (a) operational issues regarding SNAP participation decisions and the dynamics of program participation among low-income households with workers, and (b) the interactions between receipt of SNAP benefits and State Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, especially during the current recession. ERS believes the issues can best be addressed by careful analysis of linked program administrative data from the SNAP and UI programs. Total funding available for this research is approximately $500,000. The deadline for proposal submission is February 17, 2010.
