Nurturing development. Optimizing health. Discovering solutions.

Mission

The Center promotes the development and well-being of children and families by generating, translating, applying, and sharing knowledge. Believing that healthy children and families form the foundation for successful communities, the Center advocates a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to research and outreach that honors families’ culture and context. We invest in the future by using research to inform policies and programs in Oregon and beyond.
