Families and Communities Together

Following a pattern of success established by the coalitions created around Michigan's plant and animal industries, the MAES, MSUE, the Office of the Provost and the Institute for Children,Youth and Families have created the Families and Communities Together (FACT) to give communities access to research results quickly and easily.

The FACT Coalition was created to stimulate, facilitate and coordinate MSU's research and outreach efforts related to the health and well-being of children, youth and families; to support and develop the capacity of Michigan communities to meet their own needs; and to encourage new directions in scholarship and new applications for problem solving.
