Progress 10/01/02 to 09/30/03
Outputs In fiscal year 2003, ERS hosted the third annual Small Grants Conference to bring together the 2001-2002 grant recipients to present and discuss the results of their research on a wide variety of food assistance and nutrition topics. Five academic institutions and research institutes work in partnership with ERS to administer the program. They include the Harris School of Public Policy at University of Chicago, the Institute for Research on Poverty at University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Southern Rural Development Center at Mississippi State University, the University of Arizona American Indian Studies Program, and the Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis. Each has an expertise of particular relevance to the study of food assistance programs, nutrition, or related issues within a specific low income population. Each center requested and reviewed proposals for the 2002-2003 grant recipients, and monitored the progress of their grant
recipients in fiscal year 2003.
