Registration for NAACFRC’s annual Community-Engaged Research Conference opens on March 31!
During our 2025 conference, we will showcase innovative research approaches and share stories of successful research collaborations in the following program areas:
- Early Education
- Social and Economic Mobility
- Child care Assistance
NAACFRC’s annual CER conference helps build community-engaged research capacity. Community-engaged research is defined “not by the methods used, but the principles that guide the research and the relationships between researchers and the community.” This research may range from involving community members in an advisory capacity to community members serving as leads and/or equal partners in the research.
This conference provides an opportunity to build your professional network and offers a chance to share timely, relevant research.
