UC Davis to study poverty’s causes, effects with grant
The University of California, Davis, will join a select group of
institutions studying a topic that is a dreadful reality to
millions of Americans.
UC Davis has received a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services to establish a Center for Poverty
Research. It will be one of three U.S. centers designated to
study the causes and effects of policies aimed at addressing
poverty in the United States. The other centers are at Stanford
University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
