Incarcerated Mothers Project
The rate of incarceration of women in the U.S. is rising dramatically. This project seeks to examine
the long-term effects of maternal incarceration on the children of these women and the implications of these consequences
for the justice system as a whole.
Chicago School Readiness Project
In 2003, Associate Professor C. Cybele Raver received a $3.3 million, five-year grant to support a
Chicago-based collaborative research project on school readiness. The study is examining young children's emotional readiness
for school and academic achievement as they make the transition from preschool to elementary school. Funded by the National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Administration for Children and Families, the Office of Special Education
and Rehabilitative Services, and the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, this grant is part of a larger research
initiative by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Education to help prepare young children for school.
