Why The Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy?
The Mission
Fathers and father-figures have the potential to be resources to their children, the mother of their children, and their communities at-large.
The Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy (MIFRP) will utilize the historical work of Moynihan as a base to research and introduce policy that will positively impact Black families, with the father as the focal point within the family.
