Transforming the community through advanced research
A hub for family and youth-focused research.
We bridge research and practice by building innovative teams of scientists committed to tackling the most pressing issues facing families today, partnering to put our research into the hands of families, community members, and practitioners who are on the front lines of building family and youth resilience, and educating the next generation of scholars and community leaders. We use research to improve the lives of marginalized children, youth, and families.
Supporting Innovative Research
Our researchers actively collaborate with community partners and external researchers on projects, funding opportunities, and cutting-edge research opportunities.
Research with Real-World Solutions
Our research serves as a resource to the community to assist and empower organizations, community members, and stakeholders.
