Along with collaborators at Syracuse University, Johns Hopkins University, UC Merced, and Georgetown University, Professor Delia Furtado has been awarded a research grant from the Russell Sage Foundation.

The project, “Immigrant Labor, Staffing Shortages, and Job Quality in the Long-Term Care Sector,” examines how the availability of immigrant labor influences staffing shortages and working conditions in nursing homes—an issue of growing importance as the U.S. population ages.

Founded in 1907, the Russell Sage Foundation is a leading social science research foundation dedicated to strengthening research methods, data, and theory to better diagnose social problems and inform public policy.
