  • Identification of potential solutions and research priorities.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant challenges exist in federal funding and administrative guidance for child maltreatment research.
    • Existing support structures are insufficient to meet the growing need for research in this field.
    • There is a clear need for a revitalized federal commitment to policy-relevant research.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the identified problems is crucial for advancing child maltreatment research.
    • Establishing clear priorities and consistent funding will enhance research quality and impact.
    • A strengthened federal role, in partnership with behavioral scientists, is essential for effective policy development and child protection.
