This paper assesses four major research projects currently underway, each designed to gather information on what is happening to low-income families subsequent to the welfare reforms instigated by the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). Each of the projects is planned to describe some aspects of the welfare system in some places in the United States and the conditions of low-income households before and, in some cases, after the provisions of PRWORA have gone into effect. Although data collection has begun and the broad outlines of the research designs have been laid out, all the projects are still in progress. Changes in plans are likely to be made, especially for data collection efforts, which have not yet begun. Some data have been collected in each project, but the data collection will not be completed for several years. And, of course, except for the waiver experiments, none of the data collected has been analyzed in detail, although some findings have been released.
