Started in 1938 as the first William T. Grant Foundation-funded research project, The Study of Adult Development is one of the longest and richest longitudinal studies of human development ever conducted. To date, it has been a resource for over 150 scholars studying topics ranging from the influence of maternal warmth on adult physical health to links between childhood adversity and late life cognition. Until now, all data were stored on non-archival paper. This grant will allow the investigators to archive years of data in electronic format, preserving this one-of-a-kind data set and making it more widely available to scholars of human development.
