UW-Madison poverty institute chosen for new nutrition research center

There is a future in poverty, and that unfortunate fact has become thought for food at the UW-Madison, where its poverty research program was chosen this week to host the nationâ??s research on meeting the needs of the hungry. UW-Madisonâ??s Institute for Research on Poverty will establish a Center for National Food and Nutrition Assistance Research, funded with a federal grant of $1 million over four years. The center will be led by professor Judith Bartfeld, a nutrition researcher in the universityâ??s Department of Consumer Science.
