In May 2011 the University of
Kentucky Center for Poverty Research,
with funding from the Food and Nutrition
Service in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, competitively awarded a
first round of grants in the amount of
$2.45 million to qualified individuals
and institutions to provide rigorous
research that expands our understanding
of hunger among children in the United
States and the attendant policy
implications.
A second round grant competition was
initiated November 1, 2011 with letters
of intent due December 15, 2011 and full
proposals due February 3, 2012.
