The purpose of Military REACH, a cooperative agreement between DOD/USDA, is to bridge the gap between military family research and practice.

Our mission is two-fold: to make research accessible and practical. We strive to put research into the hands of military families, direct service helping professionals, and all those who work on behalf of military families by harnessing collaborative expertise, maximizing technological advances, and actively disseminating products.

Our team critically evaluates and synthesizes military family research related to issues of family support, resilience, and readiness. We identify meaningful trends and practical applications of that research and then deliver research summaries and action-oriented implications to our target audiences.
