The University of Notre Dame DU Lac, through its Notre Dame Research Division, received a $248,999 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research aiming to examine how youth resilience to neighborhood disadvantage may change during critical developmental transitions from middle childhood to adolescence and emerging adulthood. The research focuses on investigating how different facets of resilience (psychiatric, social, emotional, academic) are affected by protective factors like warm parenting and positive structural neighborhood features. The 3-year project, running from September 2024 to July 2027, will provide insights into modifiable targets for intervention programs to promote healthy youth development in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
