This brief, prepared by MEF Associates and Westat Insight researchers Lashawn Richburg-Hayes and Allison Hyra, describes how the Race Equity for Fatherhood, Relationship, and Marriage Programs to Empower Black Families (REFRAME) project describes ways to center Black voices in research on programs serving Black families. It is the first brief to describe the REFRAME project and provides important lessons learned relevant for other research and evaluation efforts looking to center their work within the concerns, values, and desires of their population of interest. Objectives are to promote equity, leverage a mostly Black expert workgroup, and uphold the principles of equity throughout.
