As part of our six-year effort to build research, practice, and policy in the fatherhood field, the FRPN developed a statewide planning initiative to support states in developing long-term plans to enhance father inclusion. This brief describes FRPN’s State Planning Grant Initiative and the activities that funded states pursued to begin the process of achieving systemic change aimed at father inclusion. It also describes the challenges they encountered, their early accomplishments, and the next steps that they plan to take.
