Since 2003, CRF has offered The Family Research Scholars Program, which provides selected faculty with the time, technical expertise, peer mentorship, and national expert consultation to prepare a large grant proposal for their research support.
Family Research Scholars participate in a year-long interdisciplinary faculty seminar that includes presentations and discussions of the Scholars’ developing proposals, concrete instruction on the details of successful proposal submission and the resources of the university, individualized methodology consultation, and information about relevant funding agencies. National experts are also chosen and invited to campus to provide individual consultation to each of the scholars on their specific projects and present a public research lecture.
CRF Scholars’ research areas have included such areas as:
* interpersonal and intercultural communication
* animal models of adolescent binge drinking
* young children’s behavior disorders
* social inequality, crime and criminal justice policy
* effects of sleep on learning in children and elders
* family policies across a range of industrialized nations
* women's health and symptom experience
* bicultural socialization processes for adopted children
* media preliteracy development and academic engagement
* labor policy impacts on family
and much more..
