The CAFO Research Lab seeks to explore the central question:
Which practices are the most effective in helping vulnerable children and families thrive?

Designed to execute original research and to support the translation of current research into practical findings for programs serving vulnerable populations, each research study seeks to discover more of the most critical insights that will make a difference in the way we care for vulnerable children and families.
