Washington Center for Equitable Growth

RSVP for our webinar on Monday, Sept. 9 at 2 p.m. where researchers who have served in policy roles will discuss how the election could shape the policy landscape in the U.S. over the coming years and how research informs our understanding of what that could mean for workers, families, and businesses.

We're introducing a new cohort of #EGgrantees in response to a Request for Proposals on the effectiveness of the fiscal response to the COVID-19 recession! These research projects are specifically analyzing whether policies worked to generate better macroeconomic outcomes and fairer outcomes for U.S. working-age individuals. Learn about the projects that will receive funding. ⬇

Today, we announce a new slate of #EGgrantees! 10 early career scholars will receive funding from Equitable Growth to study economic inequality. These scholars responded to a Request for Proposals specifically targeted at those early in their careers whose research is policy-relevant and can inform how policymakers can take action to create more stable U.S. economic growth. Equitable Growth was particularly interested in funding research that will generate actionable insights, illuminate policies that help or hinder equitable economic growth, or uncover a need for policy action. More on the grantees and their projects ⬇

I was pleased to be able to speak at the U.S. News and World Report's State of Equity event and make the case that if we want to have strong, stable and broad-based economic growth, we have to address inequality issues. Washington Center for Equitable Growth
