Research involves many phases, such as forming partnerships, conceptualizing ideas, securing funding, conducting the research, interpreting findings, disseminating findings to others, and putting findings into action. The Children, Youth and Family Consortium (CYFC) can provide assistance to academic and community researchers and other stakeholders at each of these phases (see Our Services).

However, CYFC also generates its own research knowledge and disseminates that knowledge to practitioners, policymakers and academic audiences. We also keep our eye on what’s happening at other institutions. Our website is a resource for those seeking up-to-date information about children, youth and family research from around the world.
