This type of effort and research - What is subject?

1. This type of effort and research is why re-sellers like John believe the thrift stores need them.
Is the subject here the entire underlined part and is this grammatically correct?

2. This type of effort and this type of research are why re-sellers like John believe the thrift stores need them.
Are the subjects here 'This type of effort' and 'this type of research'?

Is there a difference in meaning between #1 and #2 when using 'is' vs 'are'?

Thanks
