Description
Child Trends is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to improving the lives of children by conducting research and providing science-based information to improve the decisions, programs, and policies that affect children and their families. In advancing its mission, Child Trends collects and analyzes data; conducts, synthesizes, and disseminates research; designs and evaluates programs; and develops and tests promising approaches to research in the field.
Founded in 1979, Child Trends is supported by foundations, government agencies, private organizations, and individual donors (see Funders page). Child Trends has achieved a reputation as one of the nation's leading sources of credible data and high-quality research on children. This reputation is evidenced, for example, by Child Trends' membership in the Family and Child Well-Being Research Network of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The Institute selects members for this prestigious body through a highly competitive peer-review process.
In keeping with its mission to improve the lives of children, Child Trends is committed to sharing the results of its research and analysis with those who set policy, provide services, fund programs, launch studies, and shape opinions related to children and their families. The specific dissemination vehicles developed by Child Trends include:
