Preventing child maltreatment and promoting optimal child development requires new thinking. It requires an openness to using empirical evidence when discerning among diverse practice and policy alternatives. How do we do our work? First, we enroll smart, accomplished scholars completing their dissertation work. We seek inquisitive individ- uals with an interest in applied research and serving as leaders in their respective fields.
