These grants are meant to build capacity in the research field to focus research on questions that have direct implications for policy decision making, and program administration, and to foster mentoring relationships between faculty members and high quality doctoral students.
These grants are intended to address issues of significance to inform policy decisions and solutions, particularly for underserved/understudied populations (low income families, minority populations), utilize rigorous research methodology (both primary data collection and secondary data analysis), and help inform the development of future intervention research.
