The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Equity-Focused Policy Research grant program funded action-oriented research to build on strategies to increase equitable access to supports for families with young children, including income supports, nutrition supports, and early care and education. Following is a description of the work that has been accomplished in these three areas.
Income supports
Families with low income often do not have access to the basic necessities and resources to foster the nurturing experiences and stimulating environments that young children need to thrive. Income supports may reduce poverty in households with young children, provide critical resources to help families support children’s development, diminish families’ stress levels, and thereby advance health equity. This grant funded research on income supports for low-income families with young children, including tax credits and transfer programs, to inform policymaking and encourage more equitable access to these supports.
Early care and education
Increasing access to early care and education (ECE) may reduce poverty in households with young children by supporting parental employment; provide critical resources to help families support children’s development; diminish families’ stress levels; and thereby advance health equity. This grant sought to fund research that highlighted policy- and practice-related reasons for disparities in access to ECE, and which identified current policy or programmatic solutions or needed changes that would promote equity.
Nutrition supports
A key contributor to children’s healthy development is sufficient access to healthy foods, though research demonstrates that children from low-income households and racial and ethnic minority children experience nutritional disparities. This grant funded research on federal nutrition support programs that serve low-income families with young children, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
Cross-cutting policy areas
This grant funded a body of research that illuminates strategies and policies that ensure families’ equitable access to key resources for supporting their children’s healthy development. The cross-cutting grants fund research that cut across policy domains, revealing the way that ECE access, income supports, and nutrition supports interact and potentially reinforce one another to promote families’ well being.
