Membership Profile

The RCCF is composed of full-time USC faculty from a variety of disciplines who are actively engaged in child/family research and who have obtained or are pursuing extramural research grant funding in the child/family area. RCCF faculty at the rank of Associate or Full Professor either already have obtained extramural research grant funding related to the child/family area, or show clear promise and desire for successful grant acquisition. RCCF faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor have a strong interest in contributing to, and ultimately submitting, extramural research grant applications, and have already begun to build a promising publication record in the child/family area.

Currently, RCCF members are located in several schools and colleges including Arts and Sciences, Education, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, and Public Health. Members have faculty appointments in several departments including, for example, Criminology & Criminal Justice, Educational Psychology, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Family & Preventive Medicine, Health Promotion, Education & Behavior, Neuropsychiatry, Pediatrics, and Psychology. Members are also affiliated with a number of USC centers and institutes, including the Center for Child & Family Studies, Center for Research in Nutrition & Health Disparities, the Institute for Families in Society, the Parenting and Family Research Center, and the Prevention Research Center.

Full-time faculty who are active child/family researchers and wish to contribute to the aforementioned mission of the RCCF are welcome to contact June Headley, Consortium Manager, at 803-777-5452 or june.headley@sc.edu to request an Expression of Interest form.
