The Research Division

The Research Division of The Infant-Parent Institute includes thinkers from clinical, developmental and experimental psychology, social work, criminal justice and related fields, all eager to turn their attention to significant new issues in children's mental health, women's health, treatment outcome and program evaluation. The Research Division has delivered monitoring, technical assistance and programmatic evaluation services since 1992.

The Research Division has been principally occupied, in recent years, fulfilling a contract with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (IDCFS) to advise the Department regarding monitoring and certification for the Medicaid Community Mental Health Services ("Medicaid") Program in Illinois. Contract activities include providing certification assistance, monitoring and technical assistance to child welfare and mental health service providers.
