Five years ago, CYFS hosted the Interdisciplinary Alliance for Partnerships Research (IAPR), a national working meeting, and facilitated a future course for family-school partnerships research.
The meeting’s ultimate goal hinged on a unique variable: identifying unexplored areas of research.
Researchers from the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools (CYFS) are embarking on a collaborative project to enhance program evaluations for 4-H, the nation’s largest youth development organization.
CYFS’ Nebraska Academy for Methodology, Analytics and Psychometrics recently received a $225,000 grant from the National 4-H Council to review and revise the 4-H Common Measures, a set of surveys used to identify and measure youth outcomes.
