Project Abstract:
The National Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start Research (the Center) will implement a research and training agenda for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Specifically, the project has three main objectives: (a) to establish the infrastructure of a Center capable of starting to address the nation’s needs for AI/AN Head Start research; (b) to facilitate the conduct of research that will address the needs of AI/AN communities and their Head Start programs, university-based researchers, and agencies concerned with the well-being of children and families; and (c) to develop the capacity for future research in AI/AN Head Start. The first phase of the project will focus on developing and operationalizing a research and training agenda. In the second phase, training, research and capacity building activities will commence. During this phase, the research agenda will be implemented through research and training projects designed to address high priority areas for AI/AN populations. The third and final phase of the project will focus on dissemination plans which include recommendations for measurements and interventions for future studies in AI/AN Head Start.
