Mobilizing Research to Help Military Families
The Military Family Research Institute is a research and outreach organization based at Purdue University, funded by the Lilly Endowment, the Office of Military Community and Family Policy in the Department of Defense, and others.

Guided by the belief that discovery, learning, and engagement are essential components of a strong research and outreach program, our goal is to create meaningful relationships that bring organizations together in support of military families.

Our mission is to conduct studies that provide insight into the experiences of military members and their families, and to design and implement outreach activities that assist military families in Indiana and beyond. MFRI strives to proactively build relationships with
partners in both the military and civilian communities.
