Research

The Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development (IARYD) engages in research framed by relational developmental systems models to describe, explain, and optimize the course to healthy, positive development among diverse children, adolescents, young adults, families, and communities. The Institute is the home of several research, training, and outreach projects that seek to use theory-predicated developmental research to promote character development and thriving among youth.
