Research
Rooted in Arizona, with impact around the globe.
Improving people's health and well-being.
Our communities and the people around us impact the way we live, grow, and learn. From behavioral and developmental effects to economic impact, we are constantly shaping and being shaped by external societal factors. Our researchers seek to understand and inform on human behavior in order to positively impact the way we live our lives.
Interdisciplinary by nature.
Our research activities take place in the laboratory, in controlled studies, and in the community. The resulting discoveries on individual, family, and community dynamics help us develop practices and procedures that inform people from individuals to policymakers, in order to create a lasting impact on society.
Growing a sustainable future requires an interdisciplinary approach. Learn how we're bridging disciplinary boundaries to produce purpose-driven science with real-world impact.
