Location: 6100 Executive Boulevard, Rockville, Maryland (5th Floor Conference Room)
Purpose: The SEED program announcement – originally issued in 2000 and re-issued in 2004 – has encouraged interdisciplinary research among sociologists, demographers, psychologists, and economists on the effects of context and public policy on the development of children in low-income and poor families. At this workshop, grantees funded through this solicitation will meet to present from their research thus far and discuss future scientific directions for the SEED initiative.
