The CRHD is an interdisciplinary research centre that supports a range of basic and applied research activities across nine academic units (Psychology, Sociology, Human Movement, Social Work, Native Studies, Commerce and Administration, Nursing, Geology and Philosophy).

The Centre provides infrastructure support for the M.A. in Child and Development Studies. Developmental activities have moved the CRHD directly into an applied research framework within three major sectors of human services: social services; education; and health. This provides students with the opportunity of pursuing policy-oriented research during their degree.
