CFDA 93.239: Policy Research and Evaluation Grants

Objectives

The goals of this listing are to improve the effectiveness of public policies that reduce poverty, inequality, and their consequences, promote economic mobility and equity, and further develop knowledge of the structural causes of poverty, inequality, and economic insecurity. To that end, the National Research Center on Poverty and Economic Mobility will: (1) develop a fellowship program that will place researchers on site at HHS to work with federal policy, research, and/or program offices, (2) administer a grant program that will make multiple awards to policy researchers to conduct research and analysis to answer high-priority questions related to equity, inclusion, diversity, and access in economic mobility and human services policy and programs, and (3) collaborate with HHS to disseminate actionable findings which are relevant to primarily federal policy and research communities through co-hosted events.

Eligible applicants

Occasionally, awards are made to for-profit organizations when deemed by the Assistant Secretary to be consistent with the legislative intent and purpose of the program.

Financial assistance range

The maximum amount of award is $2.615 million for the first year in FY22.
