Family Research

Project 1, 2, 3, GO! is currently seeking families with 3-year-old children (34-38 months old) who might be willing to participate in a new study. 

The Council for Children & Families (CCF) has adopted a new Protective Factor framework to guide our grant making and system change efforts. The changes reflect advances in research and the availability of new accountability tools.

New CCF Protective Factor Framework
• Nurturing and Attachment
• Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development
• Parental Resilience
• Social Connections
• Concrete Support for Families
• Children’s Social Emotional Competence

The National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), founded in 1938, provides an educational forum for family researchers, educators, and practitioners to share in the development and dissemination of knowledge about families and family relationships, establishes professional standards, and works to promote family well-being.

The Center on Children and Families focuses on the well-being of America's children and their parents, particularly those in less advantaged families; understanding the reasons for poverty or low income, especially among working families; and policies which could improve the prospects and the life chances of these families and children.
