- Abstract
The Australian Institute of Family Studies has started the new millennium with a broad array of ongoing research projects across its three research streams: Children and Parenting, Family and Marriage, Family and Society and with some major research initiatives. The development of the research plan and specific research initiatives will continue to involve discussion with a comprehensive range of stakeholders across policy, practice and research communities. A primary criterion in selecting among options will be that the issue is of critical and far-reaching concern for families in Australia. Another is that the issue is on the cusp of policy debate and development, and amenable to change through policy initiatives. The Institute's research will also continue to combine policy relevance with good social science to found its research on an understanding of the latest theoretical positions and to use cutting-edge methodological rigor in addressing the selected issues. Institute studies will remain diverse in nature, exploiting the complementary strengths of smaller scale in-depth studies, large-scale surveys and secondary data sources.
