Funding History
The PSID Child Development has been funded by the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD) since its inception. The three waves of the original CDS were funded primarily through NICHD Grant R01 HD033474 between 1996 and 2011 under Principal Investigators Sandra
Hofferth (1996–2001), Frank Stafford (2001–2008), and Narayan Sastry (2008–2011). Funding for the original CDS was also provided through NICHD Grant R01 HD044027 under Principal
Investigator Frank Stafford. Funding for the third wave of the original CDS and for the ongoing waves of CDS from 2014 onwards were funded through NICHD Grant R01 HD052646 under
Principal Investigators Frank Stafford (2007–2009) and Narayan Sastry (2009–Present). Additional funding for CDS has been provided by the
Economic Research Service and the
Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the
Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
The PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS) has also been funded by NICHD since its inception. Initially funding came from the same grants that funded CDS.
From 2009 to the present, TAS was funded by NICHD Grants R01 HD059779, R01 HD072493, and P01 HD087155, under Principal Investigator Narayan Sastry.
