CSDE Affiliates Heather Hill and Ali Rowhani-Rahbar recently published commentary, available HERE, on the implications of recent research that found an association between the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and food insufficiency. Hill and Rowhani-Rahbar highlight that while the CTC was not designed as a health policy, the 26% reduction of food insufficiency found by Shafer et al. (2022) suggests that income support policies also serve as health policies, supporting the health of children.

Purpose
The Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute (formerly the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute) works to stimulate and facilitate UW research on alcohol and drug use and addiction through its Small Grants Program, which awards funds to UW researchers for pilot studies and developmental research. The scope ranges from pharmacology of drugs to studies of clinical treatment strategies, prevention, and social policy issues. UW researchers should consider the Small Grants Program as a resource to help develop research through initial funding for promising pilot projects which may ultimately be developed into full studies with outside funding.
