Program objective

The legislation states that WR funds shall be used for research on the effect of State TANF programs on employment, self-sufficiency, child well-being, unmarried births, marriage, poverty, economic mobility, and other factors; State-initiated research on TANF; development of a “what works clearinghouse” of effective approaches for moving welfare recipients into work; dissemination of information on WR-funded research and evaluation, including facilitating the sharing of information and best practices among States and localities; and technical assistance activities to support TANF programs and services. The funding opportunities in this listing support these objectives.
