Future of Families Summer Data Workshop

As of January 6, 2023 The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study team is pleased to announce that our name has formally changed to The Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study. We will still use the same acronym, FFCWS. 

The Future of Families Summer Data Training Workshop is designed to familiarize participants with the data available in the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a national study following a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their children, providing information about the capabilities, circumstances, and relationships of unwed parents, the wellbeing of their children, and the role of public policy in family and child wellbeing. The workshop is targeted toward early-career scholars from social science disciplines. We particularly encourage applications from junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and advanced doctoral students using the Future of Families data in their doctoral dissertations. Underrepresented scholars are strongly encouraged to apply.
