Max Crowley is the director of the Prevention Research Center and a prevention scientist investigating how to optimize investments in healthy development and well-being. This work sits at the intersection of social policy, prevention science and public finance. His program of research is motivated by a desire to increase the use of cost-effective, evidence-based preventive strategies to improve the lives of children and families. To accomplish this, his work aims to:
- strengthen methods for benefit-cost analyses of preventive interventions;
- optimize prevention strategies’ impact; and
- develop best practices for how to translate these investments into evidence-based policy.
In this manner, he seeks to not only understand the costs and benefits of prevention, but aims to develop better interventions and encourage them to be disseminated widely.
His research is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and National Institute on Aging as well as the Robert Wood Johnson, Laura & John Arnold, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Michael and Susan Dell and Doris Duke Charitable Foundations.
He is accepting graduate students and postdoctoral trainees for the upcoming academic year.
I am deeply passionate about considering how we make investments in children and families in a way that is rigorous, effective, and potent -- and also efficient -- recognizing that we are using public resources.
