Project Summary
To mark the 25th anniversary of U.S. household food security measurement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service (USDA ERS) is supporting a suite of competitive grants on food security measurement methods, data, and future research needs.
The 6 selected project titles and investigators, announced in spring 2021, are summarized here and on the USDA/ERS website.
The initiative is managed by Tufts University (Dr. Parke Wilde) and the University of Missouri (Dr. Irma Arteaga). A Request for Proposals (RFP) invited proposals for research projects funded up to $50,000 (primarily small projects using secondary data or reviews of the existing research literature) and up to $100,000 (larger projects including primary data collection and new analysis).
Each grantee will produce a written conference paper, present the paper at the conference in April 2022, and produce a manuscript for inclusion in a journal special issue with a draft manuscript due in August and final manuscript due in November 2022.
