INVEST IN THE FSU CFC CENTER

Why Invest in the FSU CFC Center?
The Center for the Study and Promotion and Promotion of Communities, Families, and Children was established to generate and sustain knowledge and funding assets needed for the development of effective policies, services, and applied research.
The FSU CFC Center is able to capitalize on the FSU College of Social Work’s current efforts while continuing to expand into new areas of research, grants, engagement, and collaboration.
To achieve these goals, the FSU CFC Center develops innovative solutions and outcomes through a cross-disciplinary, multidisciplinary approach. See below for some examples of our important work.
