OpportunityTitle: poverty center post-doctoral program on poverty, inequality and mobility in the US
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants for the post-doctoral program on poverty, inequality and mobility is limited to the three poverty centers currently funded by ASPE &#150; located at the University of California-Davis, Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Description: This award will enable a currently funded poverty research center to expand its current training and mentoring program to provide opportunities for poverty researchers to engage in policy development, research and analyses through post-doctoral appointments of up to two years with residence at HHS. Central to the mission of the poverty research center program is capacity building - supporting faculty research and faculty training; supporting and mentoring students in poverty and social policy related careers and reaching out to scholars unlikely to participate extensively in HHS programs to support the nation&apos;s poverty research effort. The goals of the program will be to (1) contribute to the effective use of scientific knowledge about family poverty and well-being in the formation of public policy; (2) educate the scientific community and especially relatively early-career scholars about the development of public policy, and how applied poverty research can support this development; (3) provide opportunities to carry out research; and (4) establish a more effective liaison between poverty scholarship and federal research and policy-making mechanisms.
