A primary goal of the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools (CYFS) is to create, nurture, and develop an environment that builds capacity for a strong relationship between researchers and community partners for the conduct of high-quality research that translates into effective community-based practices. The Center's faculty and affiliates are committed to understanding how educational, familial, and community systems work dynamically to impact the lives of children, youth, and families. This paper presents the annual report of CYFS for 2007-2008. [For 2006-2007 report, see ED538279.]
