Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged conventional thinking, dramatizing the essential contributions that “care infrastructure” can make to economic well-being. Unfortunately, available data to study care provision in the United States are limited and fragmented, making policy analysis difficult. Led by three co-principal investigators, this grant will support a comprehensive in-depth review of care data shortfalls in consultation with a set of diverse experts in the field, and allow the project to develop a set of specific recommendations to improve data resources to study care provision, in particular the synergies between unpaid and paid care. The hope is that this project will help bring the positive impact of increased public support for care provision into focus, revealing its potential to simultaneously reduce gender inequality and enhance family well-being.

Grants to this Grantee
for a landscape scan and analysis of teacher preservice education programs and the teaching workforce
The University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education partners with schools, universities, and communities to expand educational access — especially for those underserved by society. In the wake of the pandemic, the teaching profession is facing a profound set of challenges in both recruiting and retaining teachers. Given the crucial role of teachers in supporting student academic and social and emotional development, efforts to rethink how we best recruit, prepare, and retain public school teachers are of paramount importance. This grant will support research to provide a landscape analysis of the current state of the teaching profession, with the goal of formulating recommendations around preparing, recruiting, and retaining teachers who can empower and equip each and every student to reach their full potential and contribute to our diverse, multiracial society.
