The Children's Equity Project
The Children's Equity Project is a child policy center, housed at Arizona State University and led in partnership with scholars at 12 universities across the country. Our work focuses on closing opportunity gaps and advancing equity in all of the systems that impact the lives of children and families, so that all children - particularly those from historically and contemporary marginalized communities, can thrive. The CEP works at the intersection of research, practice, and policy. We engage in rigorous original research, partner with policy makers at every level of government to support data and research informed policy changes that will advance opportunity for children from historically marginalized communities; and engage with communities to deliver training, technical assistance, and professional development. We are informed by families' voices through our family advisory committee, lived experiences, data, and research, and have deep expertise in child development, policy, and systems.
