The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, within the Department of Health and Human Services is awarding $2,350,000 for the establishment of three Poverty Research Centers.

The Poverty Research Center grants are for qualified institutions, which include Public, State and Private institutions of Higher Education, to provide a focused national and regional and/or state agenda to expand the understanding of the causes, consequences and effects of inequality and poverty and policies and programs to ameliorate and alleviate poverty, inequality and their affects.

It is anticipated that investigators supported under the Poverty Research Center will benefit from the opportunity to conduct independent research, as well as that the grantee institution will benefit from participation in the diverse extramural programs of Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies.
