As expressed in the CRF Statement Against Racism, our team is committed to taking meaningful action to undo the effects of systemic racism in our society, in our workplaces, in academia, in our communities, and in our country. One of the many measures we will be supporting is the upcoming anti-racism workshop series hosted by CNS. The workshop series, White Like Me Viewing and Group Discussions, will foster and facilitate discussion within identity groups before coming together to meet across groups. Learn more about the workshop series and register here.

*Workshop groups will be offered beginning Monday, July 13 and will run through Thursday, July 16

The Center for Research on Families (CRF) has a deep commitment to social justice which is demonstrated through our core mission of advancing research for the health and well-being of all families. Our goal is that the faculty and student research that we support will inform policy and practices that will reduce and, ultimately, eliminate social, economic and health inequities. Our student and faculty scholars are studying topics across a broad range of areas that affect families. Many are looking at inequality in the lives of families that exist at the intersections of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and abilities. 

The Center for Research on Families (CRF) is pleased to announce the recipients of this year's Student Research Awards. CRF is committed to supporting students engaged in family research — our student researchers are addressing family challenges such as malnutrition in older adults, women’s health in remote regions of the world, health effects of breastfeeding, socioemotional development of the multiracial children, how brain structures affect memory, and  how young children’s ability to understand language influences brain development. This competitive awards program recognizes outstanding student research on issues related to families.
