NYU Global TIES for Children logo

Our international research center harnesses New York University’s global scholarship, resources, and networks to ensure programs and policies to improve child outcomes are based on culturally grounded evidence - and ultimately, more effective. We work in partnership models to do this, combining cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary research methodologies to support initiatives that enable children, their caregivers, teachers, and communities to thrive.

Our Work

Without scientific understanding of how children develop, practitioners and policy makers lack the tools to achieve breakthrough impacts. This is where Global TIES for Children comes in – we are one of the largest university-based research centers devoted to improving holistic learning and development for children in the most volatile areas of the world. Achieving scientific insight through partnership and network models, we address the 21st century challenges that policymakers, NGOs, and researchers face in ensuring that children everywhere have the supports they need to grow up to be healthy and productive citizens of the world. Our research demonstrates how quality improvements in education, health, social protection, poverty reduction and other areas can improve children’s outcomes.
