Poverty research seminars were held in Washington, D.C., during the 1990-91 academic year, sponsored by the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The seminars aimed to present policy-relevant poverty research to those involved in public policy design and were open to the public. On November 13, 1990, Robert Moffitt of Brown University presented "Incentive Effects of the U.S. Welfare System: A Review," which is available as Special Report no. 48 from IRP. On January 28, 1991, David Greenberg and Michael Wiseman discussed "OBRA's Bequest: The Work-Welfare Demonstrations Revisited," focusing on employment and training programs of the 1980s. The paper is expected to be published as a chapter in "Evaluating Welfare and Training Programs" (1992). A Small Grants Research Seminar was held on April 26, 1991, where winners of the 1990 Small Grants competition discussed their findings. The individual papers will be published in the IRP Discussion Paper series. The University of Michigan’s Research and Training Program on Poverty, the Underclass, and Public Policy offers one- or two-year postdoctoral fellowships for American minority scholars. Fellows will conduct independent research and participate in a year-long seminar on Poverty, the Underclass, and Public Policy, led by Sheldon Danziger and Mary Corcoran. Funding comes from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. by August 1, 1992, with an application deadline of January 10, 1992.
