2/2/2010
Attention
Affiliate Councils - Propose a conference session!
Proposals for the 2010 NCFR Conference are due March 1. Please consider
submitting a paper or poster proposal to the Affiliate Councils. The
Affiliate Councils link researchers, scholars and practitioners to the
concerns of regions, states, or communities. Individual and Affiliate
group proposals are welcome. Research proposals on family impacts might
include proposals which:
1. Describe effective local services, interventions, practices that
strengthen families of all forms.
2. Report on local or state level research that explores new family
life education or
clinical practice questions.
3. Describe or evaluate programs related to emerging cultural and
societal issues as
they impact family functions.
4. Assess state policy family life education initiatives that
strengthen diverse families
in a changing society.
5. Offer program development guidelines to strengthen children, youth
and families in
the context of shifting populations.
6. Present controversial local, regional, and state issues related to
families, including
unanswered perspectives.
7. Suggest ways state, regional, & student affiliate groups can
serve as forums for
discourse and policy on families.
Strong college and university, state and regional affiliates are
necessary for the long term viability of NCFR. Submitting to the
Affiliate Councils highlights the importance of affiliate level
research and practice. Students, new professionals, and established
scholars are encouraged to submit proposals.
