- What it does
- A key way that the Department of Labor (DOL) examines the impact of the agencies’ programs and policies is by conducting rigorous research and evaluation studies that allow DOL to learn systematically about and improve the effectiveness of programs and services. These grants are designed to increase the capacity of educational institutions and researchers to rigorously examine critical issues in labor and workforce for the benefit of the general public. The purpose of these grants is to increase awareness and build the capacity of the American people to understand critical issues in labor.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
