The Columbia Population Research Center (CPRC) will host the 2024 Future of Families Summer Data Workshop during the week of June 12-14, 2024, at Columbia University in New York City. The application window is now closed.

The 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.

Substantive areas covered include, but are not limited to, family structure, health, education, economic resources and activity, system involvement (e.g., criminal legal system, foster care, child support), the transition to adulthood, and many others. 

The workshop targets early-career scholars from social and health science disciplines.  About 25 applicants will be selected. Travel support will be available for accepted out-of-town candidates. The Future of Families Summer Data Workshop is made possible by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (5R25HD074544).
