We’re excited to share that we announced our grants to study minimum wage
increases today (press release
<
http://www.arnoldfoundation.org/laura-and-john-arnold-foundation-awards-research-grants-to-study-minimum-wage-increases/>).
In conjunction with this announcement, we have issued a Request for
Proposals
<
http://www.arnoldfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/Minimum-Wage-RFP.pdf>
to solicit high-impact research proposals focused on minimum wage policy.
As part of the Arnold Foundation’s commitment to ensuring that public
policies are rooted in data and evidence, we hope this RFP will attract
pioneering research projects that study the effect of state and local
minimum wage policy changes on economic opportunity, mobility, and
household well-being. *Proposals are due on March 31, 2016 at 5pm CDT*.
As you know, we are also hosting a symposium on economic mobility and the
minimum wage on *January 5th*, and we are grateful to have you as a
discussant and panelist.
Would you please share the attached RFP and Symposium information to your
network and other interested parties? Here are links if that is preferable:

efforts.
Thanks for your consideration!
