Building a Transformative 21st Century Research Agenda
About the Research Agenda
Since 2020, Lived Experience Experts, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Casey Family Programs (CFP), and the William T. Grant Foundation have worked in partnership with a broad array of experts, stakeholders, and people with lived experience to draft research gaps that span community-based family support, child protective services, out-of-home care, and post-permanency services.
Transformative research is co-designed by academics and those with lived experience. It is grounded in principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It changes how we support families both in what we research and how we research it. I invite you to learn more on the Casey Family Programs website.
Be well,
