摘要:This report summarizes research findings from the Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Small Grants Program. The Economic Research Service created the program in 1998 to encourage new and innovative studies of food security, hunger, and public- and private-sector efforts to alleviate these problems among low-income residents of the United States through food and nutrition assistance. The report includes summaries of the second set of small grants, which were awarded for 1-year research projects in the summer and fall of 1999.
