The UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) is committed to sharing the information generated by our projects and people with the public and to supporting professionals' understanding and use of evidence-based practices. Our Institute and everyone within it want to ensure that parents, educators, and other professionals who support children and families benefit from our work in a timely way.  One way we do this is by amplifying awareness of the numerous new publications our scientists, specialists, scholars, staff, and faculty fellows produce each year—including books and book chapters, journal articles, online learning publications, reports and policy briefs, technical assistance guides, and other resources.

Below is a list of some of FPG's more recent publications. Use the linked titles to learn more about the work being done here and, for a complete listing of FPG's publications, please visit our publications page.
