Abstract

Child and Family Well-Being. To (1) develop two evidence-based calls for proposals to inform research gaps in the literature related to the intersection of the three policy areas (early care and education, nutrition supports, and income supports) critical to families' health and well-being, with an emphasis on understanding the role of the COVID-19 pandemic in accessing supports; (2) review and select up to 15 research proposals that will fill gaps in the evidence base; (3) provide monitoring and technical assistance to research projects; (4) synthesize key findings from the research projects and identify key learnings; and (5) develop an issue brief for dissemination to the field, policymakers, and other key stakeholders.
