FPG

The UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) was founded in 1966 by a small group of scientists who had a vision-to conduct research that would make a difference in children's lives, support families, and inform public policy. Since its inception, FPG has recognized that every child deserves a safe, healthy, and stimulating childhood. And for more than half a century, our work has been dedicated to making this experience a reality for all children... We are committed to sharing the information we generate with the public and to supporting professionals' understanding and use of evidence-based practices. Like other top-tier research organizations, our work is published in the most respected journals in our field. What sets us apart is our effort to ensure that parents, educators, and other professionals who support children and families benefit from our work in a timely manner. FPG's dedication to both research and outreach is embodied in our motto: Advancing knowledge..
