Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) was founded in 1966 by a small group of scientists who had a vision—to conduct research that would make a difference in children's lives, support families, and inform public policy. Today, FPG is one of the nation's oldest and largest multidisciplinary centers devoted to the study of young children and their families. FPG researchers study important issues facing young children and their families, and we use this information to enhance policy and improve FPG’s dedication to both research and outreach is embodied in our motto: Advancing knowledge to transform children's lives.
