Ron Mincy is the Maurice V. Russell Professor of Social Policy and Social Work Practice and the Director, Center for Research on Fathers, Children, and Family Well-Being at Columbia University.
Mincy is a co-principal investigator (with Garfinkel, McLanahan, and Brooks-Gunn) on the recently-awarded grant form NICHD that is supporting collection of the 6th wave of data for the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study, when the focal children become pre-adolescents (around age 9). He plans to use these data for follow-up studies of the earnings trajectories of unmarried fathers and the effects of union transitions (especially marriage) on earnings trajectories.
