Our Mission
The Family Development Project aims to improve health and wellbeing in Chinese American families through research and education.
We are a collaboration consisting of researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Wellesley College, and University of Massachusetts Boston.
Our community-engaged research takes place through a primary partnership with Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center. We are also grateful to ABCD Head Start for their support of our work.
