The University of Pennsylvania is conducting a $325,000 project grant titled "The Effects of Government-Led Cash Transfer Programs on Health Outcomes Among Women and Young Children in Low- and Middle-Income Countries" funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to analyze data from 37 low- and middle-income countries to assess the impact of government cash transfer programs on mortality rates among adult females and children. Using a difference-in-differences approach, the research seeks to precisely estimate the health effects of these large-scale poverty reduction initiatives, which have not been extensively evaluated across multiple countries. The project will run from September 2024 to August 2026.
