The FRPN's efforts have been focused in multiple areas: identifying effective fatherhood program formats, measuring and enhancing father engagement with children; improving coparenting and mother engagement among unmarried, nonresidential parents; strengthening economic security and assessing the return on investment generated by fatherhood programs; and strengthening father inclusion in statewide programs and policies. We’ve conducted and funded rigorous evaluation projects within these areas with grantees selected through a competitive RFP process. To help launch that process, the FRPN completed research reports that outlined research gaps and opportunities for FRPN evaluation efforts. These reports can be downloaded below.
As evaluation research conducted by FRPN grantees and the project team is completed, their findings will continue to be added to this section of the website.
