November 15-17, 2011
The Child Care Policy Research Consortium is a national alliance of research projects sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Consortium's purpose is to help ACF increase the national capacity for sound child care research, identify and respond to critical issues, and link child care research with policy and practice.
The combined 2011 State and Territory Administrators Meeting (STAM) and Annual Meeting of the Child Care Policy Research Consortium (CCPRC)—The Intersection of Research and Practice: Meeting Child Care Goals in Challenging Times—was held from November 15 to 17, 2011, in Bethesda, Maryland. Materials for the STAM-CCPRC 2011 plenary sessions and workshops are available through the links below. All files are in PDF form.
