Research Initiatives
Unlike a university-based faculty, our Research and Evaluation Team remains grounded in applying science to real world matters, are dedicated to making a difference to children and families and work in close daily partnership with program staff and community partners. Aside from direct research roles, the Team participates actively as members and officers of community organizations, professional societies and academic departments.
