The National African American Child and Family Research Center (NAACFRC) at Morehouse School of Medicine provides national leadership & excellence in community-engaged research to better serve African American children & families. The NAACFRC develops research resources to build research capacity in the field and improve understanding of African American populations to inform HHS’ Administration for Children and Families’ policy development and programmatic responses.

As part of this effort, the NAACFRC created a database of community-engaged researchers across the country that is publicly available to facilitate collaborations. Explore this searchable database to find potential partners or connect with those doing work on topics that may be of interest to you (e.g., TANF/Economic Mobility, Early Care and Education, Fatherhood/Family Dynamics). You can sort, filter, and search by state, research topics, agency type or researcher name.

Along with your search of this database, we also encourage you to engage NAACFRC in support of your research. We provide a community pilot projects program that supports community-based organizations seeking to conduct their own research. More information can be found on our website here: https://www.naacfrc.org/community-pilot-projects-programs/

Questions about the database, edits, or additions should be emailed to info@naacfrc.org.
