Pathways: Research Information

Pathways directly supports research efforts to measure the effectiveness of strategies to overcome employment barriers. Research results can help inform policy makers and contribute to future program design. Research efforts are typically supported through the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant or funding provided by the Social Security Administration and/or other federal agencies.

Research for Pathways is conducted independently by persons employed by universities and other institutions external to DHS. Consequently, the descriptions and interpretations offered in the materials linked to this page do not necessarily reflect those of Pathways, DHS, or of any federal agency providing research funding.
