Funding from grants and contracts, CIR has helped dozens of agencies implement high-quality training and support for their employees at a lower cost than they could have realized on their own.

Our Mission

To apply research-based knowledge to address real-world problems in human services and education.

Our Vision

We work to create a world where professionals receive the training and support they need to positively influence the lives of children and families. We understand that no one enters a career knowing everything or having finished learning. We are committed to offering quality training opportunities, out-reach tools, and support services to optimize the work of professionals who serve children and families, from the local child care provider to the nonprofit director.
