The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,899 Project Grant to Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The 3-year grant funds qualitative research examining how families with socially marginalized members navigate intergenerational differences in attitudes on controversial social and political issues. The project involves collecting interview data from 90 individuals in 30 family systems to understand how age, generation, and family roles shape family members' interactions and conflict resolution strategies. Findings aim to promote understanding of how broader cultural issues impact intergenerational family relationships and suggest potential interventions to facilitate intergenerational dialogue and family support. The award also includes supplementary activities to enhance research capacity at the Hispanic-Serving Institution (MSI) of MSU Denver.
