During the 2005, 2006, and 2007 annual meetings, members of the Family Economics Research Coordinating Committee (NCCC052) developed three national research priorities for family economics research. This committee, functioning under the National Agricultural Experiment Station System, facilitates collaboration among family economics researchers nationally and internationally and provides a forum to examine research methodology and family economic issues indepth from a multidisciplinary perspective. In addition, the committee fosters development of research related to the economic well being of individuals and families that is of interest to multiple institutions across the nation. Much of the financial research that is conducted relates to one or more of these priorities. It is possible that researchers and educators might use this document to justify the importance of their work.
