To improve economic well being and quality of life for Georgians, the University of Georgia’s Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach has undertaken an initiative that aims to address issues of persistent poverty and the economy. One aspect of the UGA initiative is the Poverty and the Economy Faculty Research Grants program, which supports sound scholarly research that will promote public policy designed to improve both individual and community prosperity. Jointly supported by the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach and the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF), the grants program fosters applied research and creative scholarship related to poverty while contributing to the overall excellence of UGA’s research program. In particular, this program supports research that builds on understanding public policy barriers that inhibit or limit an individual’s ability to participate fully in the economy. The 2006 Faculty Research Grants Program report highlights the major findings of this research to date.
For more information about the Poverty and the Economy Faculty Research Grants program, visit the initiative’s Web site at www.poverty.uga.edu.
