Hewlett/PRB Research Programs
The Population and Poverty Research Network
PRB and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation have established two new programs to study the role of population and reproductive health in economic development with a specific focus on sub-Saharan Africa. These programs, Dissertation Fellowships and Teams of Research Excellence, were launched in 2006 to support innovative, policy-relevant research on how population and reproductive health affect development, including economic growth, poverty reduction, and equity. The fellows and research teams will form a nucleus of research activity and will participate in PRB and Hewlett-sponsored research conferences, methods workshops, and other outreach. The initiatives aim to produce a growing body of sound evidence to be incorporated into national economic planning and decisionmaking.
