The Center for Research on Families (CRF) fosters interdisciplinary research on families, integrating insights from the social, behavioral and natural sciences. By addressing urgent issues and systemic inequalities, CRF advances family focused research and community engaged initiatives, We facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and generate innovative, evidence based solutions to tackle the complex challenges families face today.
Teaching and mentoring are at the heart of CRF's work. Through our Family Research Scholars Program and student-based engagement in social science exploration and work readiness we are connecting and impacting the UMass community and beyond.
This year generous gifts to CRF through UMass Gives will help support growing initiatives in community-based programming as well as strengthen our commitment to student engagement through internships, special workshops and creating connection.
