Research and Resources

Providing national leadership & excellence in community-engaged research to better serve African American children & families.

Community

Community is the heart of the NAACFRC. Our purpose is to improve the effectiveness of service delivery to TANF families and thereby strengthen the African American community as a whole. We believe in Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). We want our research to be informed by the perspectives, preferences, & life priorities of African Americans.
