Fordham University

In 1991, Fordham University, in New York City, hosted the first National Conference on Graduate Education in Applications of Developmental Science Across the Lifespan, where representatives from organizations throughout the country met to discuss concerns regarding the efficacy of controlled laboratory-based developmental research in meeting the needs of children and families in real-world community contexts (Fisher, Murray, et al., 1993). The consensus of conferees was that the effectiveness of future social programs to treat and prevent developmental problems and optimize human growth rests in large measure on training a new generation of scientist-professionals to work with community members and policymakers to ensure that community goals are achieved (Fisher, Murray, & Sigel, 1996; Lerner & Fisher, 1994; Melton, 1995).
