Chapin Hall Senior Research Fellow Senior Fellow, Computation Institute University of Chicago
Robert M. Goerge is a Senior Research Fellow at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago with more than 30 years of research focused on improving the available data and information on children and families, particularly those who require specialized services related to maltreatment, disability, poverty, or violence. Dr. Goerge developed Chapin Hall’s Integrated Database on Child and Family Programs in Illinois, which links the administrative data on social service receipt, education, criminal and juvenile justice, employment, healthcare, and early childhood programs to provide a comprehensive picture of child and family use of publicly provided or financed service programs. His work provides high–quality information to policymakers to improve the programs serving children and their families. He is also the Principal Investigator of the National Survey of Early Care and Education.
