Thank you for your generous donation to the CRF Student Research Program. Your gift will help deserving students conduct important research that will benefit families.
The Center for Research on Families (CRF) addresses pressing problems facing families through interdisciplinary research focused on the diversity, health, and well-being of families.
CRF Student Researchers make important contributions in areas such as immigration policies, opioid addiction, trauma and stress, LGBT+ families, obesity in children, ethnic and racial disparities, child labor issues, and much more. CRF provides travel grants, dissertation and pre-dissertation fellowships, and undergraduate awards that make their research possible.
