Harvard Family Research Project

Since its founding in 1983, the HFRP's mission has been to examine and encourage policies and programs that empower families and communities to help children reach their potential. The HFRP conducts research on family support programs and shapes their development. Project members contribute to national working groups, serve as sources to the media, and help public and private entities shape their strategies for supporting families.

The HFRP's agenda encourages progressive program development and helps practitioners implement and evaluate family support programs, systems, and policies.
