Meet our newest undergraduate student awards recipients and learn about their research!
The Center for Research on Families recognizes the importance of supporting family researchers at all stages of their careers and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our competitive program recognizes outstanding students, from a broad range of departments and disciplines, who are conducting research on issues related to families.
Since its inception in 2010, the Student Research Awards program has awarded close to $500,000 to over 200 students in support of their research efforts and assisted them in presenting their findings at professional meetings and conferences throughout the world.
These undergraduate research awards were supported by a collaboration between CRF, Commonwealth Honors College, the Rudd Adoption Research Program, Women for UMass and the Department of Psychological and Brain Science.
