The Abecedarian Project was cited last year in expert testimony from Diana Mendley Rauner, president of Ounce of Prevention Fund, at a budget hearing for the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations. You can watch it here.
PBS has released the much-anticipated documentary The Raising of America, which notes the compelling evidence from the Abecedarian Project for the power of high-quality early education and care.
In addition to books, chapters, journal articles, and other research publications, FPG also has produced and archived many other resources about the Abecedarian Project for broader audiences and the media, including these videos, news stories, briefs, and research summaries.
