The Student Research Grants and Awards Program provides support to undergraduate and graduate students to work with UMass faculty on research and enables the acknowledgment of outstanding student research on family issues. Awardees engage with the center by attending roundtable events to present their research.

Family research is broadly defined and encompasses all disciplines.
