During the 1990-91 academic year, three poverty research seminars were held in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation. These seminars aimed to present policy-relevant poverty research to policymakers and the public. The seminars included:
1. **Incentive Effects of the U.S. Welfare System**: Presented by Robert Moffitt from Brown University on November 13, 1990. The paper is available as Special Report no. 48 from IRP.
2. **OBRA's Bequest: The Work-Welfare Demonstrations Revisited**: A discussion on the connection between research and policy, focusing on employment and training programs of the 1980s. Presented by David Greenberg from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Michael Wiseman from the University of Wisconsin-Madison on January 28, 1991. The paper will be published in *Evaluating Welfare and Training Programs*.
3. **Small Grants Research Seminar**: Winners of the 1990 Small Grants competition discussed their findings and policy implications on April 26, 1991. The individual papers will be entered into the IRP Discussion Paper series.
Additionally, the University of Michigan's Research and Training Program on Poverty, the Underclass, and Public Policy offers one- or two-year postdoctoral fellowships to American minority scholars. Fellows will conduct research and participate in a year-long seminar under the direction of Sheldon Danziger and Mary Corcoran. The application deadline is January 10, 1992.During the 1990-91 academic year, three poverty research seminars were held in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
