CYFC

The CYFC is a University-wide initiative that brings together more than 400 faculty, representing a range of disciplines (human development, the liberal arts, education, agriculture, and medicine), in efforts to promote collaborative research, outreach and teaching that address critical social issues facing children, youth, and families, and serve critical community needs.

The CYFC promotes interdisciplinary networking, provides pre-award seed funds and consultation, sponsors workshops and research networks, and provides strategic leadership.
