Due January 31, 2022
The Family Resource Simulator (FRS), a project of the National Center for Children in Poverty, models family budgets by comparing family resources (I.e., family income, tax credits, and public benefits) against estimates of basic family expenses, based on where families live, over a range of family incomes. Interns will help NCCP researchers in updating FRS codes to reflect policies in Ohio and in Kansas. Operating out of the Bank Street Graduate School of Education, the National Center for Children in Poverty advances policies to achieve equity in economic opportunity, mobility, and security for all families in the United States. NCCP conducts research and translates evidence into actionable recommendations that both advocates and policymakers can use to improve the lives and futures of low-income children and their families.
