TRANSFORM Summer Institute

TRANSFORM (Translational Research that Adapts New Science FOR Maltreatment) is a national resource center that conducts research, disseminates discoveries, and builds on state-of-the-art research and practices to foster the next generation of interdisciplinary professionals committed to preventing and addressing child abuse and neglect.

The TRANSFORM Summer Research Institute (SRI)  uses community-based research to facilitate a societal impact on preventing and reducing child abuse and neglect.

2023 Summer Research Institute (SRI) 

In 2023 we sought applicant teams who are passionate about preventing child abuse and neglect and engaging with their local, state, and national partners. The University of Minnesota partnered with Mt. Hope Family Center, the Laboratory of Interpersonal Violence, and the Susan B. Anthony Center at the University of Rochester, to convene national and internationally recognized experts in the field of child maltreatment to help SRI teams work on developing and refining proposals for potential pilot funding. We offered a competitive application process for seed money following the SRI.
