WPRP DATABASE SNAPSHOTS

 

The WPRP database is designed to track and profile welfare-related research in the State of California.  Periodically, WPRP staff take a “snapshot” of the database to determine the nature and the scope of welfare-related studies completed and underway in the state (e.g., the number and nature of studies on various topics, the geographic distribution of studies, important topics and localities or regions that are being under-studied or not studied at all, etc.).  Snapshots are updated periodically to reflect the growing number of studies in the database.
