It is with deep sadness that we share that our grant that funds the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families has been cancelled. As a result, we have ceased Center activities effective December 8, 2025.
Although our federal funding has ended, we are proud that our impact will be long-lasting. Since the Center launched in 2013, our efforts have advanced rigorous, policy-relevant research on the well-being of Hispanic children and families and strengthened the next generation of scholars dedicated to this work.
A Legacy to Be Proud Of
Over the past decade, the Center has:
- Published nearly 175 briefs, journal articles, data points, infographics, toolkits, blogs, and commentaries
- Presented research at nearly 90 professional conferences and convenings
- Held close to 20 briefings with federal agencies
- Conducted 30 webinars and data trainings
- Provided funds and professional development to more than 50 grantees
- Trained more than 20 research assistants, graduate students, and pre-/post-doctoral fellows
- Hosted nearly 20 mentoring events reaching more than 1,300 mentees
Most importantly, the Center brought attention to the strengths, heterogeneity, and contributions of Hispanic children and families. And through this work, we helped inform policies, programs, and practices that better support Hispanic communities across the country.
A Note of Gratitude
To everyone who contributed, collaborated, shared our work, mentored scholars, or used our research: Thank you. Your commitment made the Center a success and, we believe, a model for future efforts.
We are deeply grateful for your partnership and for the trust you placed in us. While this chapter is ending, the impact of this community will carry forward for years to come.
Looking Ahead
We encourage you to continue using and sharing our research and resources. For the time being, you can continue to access these resources through our website.
We also invite you to follow the talented investigators and researchers who made up the Center and the fellows and grantees we have supported and whose work represents the future of research on Latino communities on X, Bluesky, or LinkedIn.
