Overview of The Centre

The Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research is an innovative resource that develops and mobilizes evidence-based priority research into policy. Because children and their families in Alberta share fundamental needs with children living elsewhere, our research has relevancy and impact that extends to outside of Alberta, thus making The Centre an innovative nexus for the most important issues for children. The Centre is a not-for-profit, charitable organization that is operated arms-length from government.

The Centre also manages The Child and Youth Data Laboratory, the world's first lab to focus exclusively on a population of children and youth. It is expected that the CYDL will substantially advance our understanding of the impact of, and need for, government policies and programs to improve child health and well being.
