This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) provides $680,103 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to conduct research on the comparative effectiveness of food prescription programs for food insecure families with young children in the United States. The 5-year project, with an end date of March 31, 2030, aims to develop and test two innovative food prescription interventions to increase utilization among 225 Medicaid-eligible families with children aged 2-6.
