Children’s Research Center
The Center
Since the Children's Research Center(CRC) opened in 1982, over 15,000 babies, children, and parents from diverse backgrounds have volunteered to participate in our research. Within the CRC, there are eleven labs conducting research on child development. Our research examines a broad range of topics, including the development of language, parent-child relationships and cultural influences on development. Research projects are supported primarily through federal assistance and private donations.
In addition, the CRC provides training for approximately 150 college students per year. Their close work with the staff on specific research projects prepares them to achieve advanced degrees and professional jobs working with children.
Participation
Children typically enjoy participating in our research and parents report the experience to be interesting and informative. Many agree lo participate in more than one study and often recommend the CRC to their friends or neighbors.
We are looking for voluntary participation of children from birth to 15 years of age at present. If you are interested in having your child participate in one of our studies or have any questions, you can call us, email us or fill in our online form.
The Library
The Makes Library, named for a late professor of our center, lies on the first floor of the CRC. Supported entirely by private donors(捐赠者），it provides up-to-date newspapers and magazines and some books in developmental psychology for people at the CRC. The center decided to build it as a meeting place originally. Now staff seminars are held in the library, and it is also the place of the developmental areals seminar and conference in which speakers from across the country present their research.
