In the field of child development, research findings that could benefit society often must wait years and even decades before they are used in developing social policy. Reasons for this are cited, and the efforts of private foundations, specifically the work of the Foundation for Child Development, in surmounting these obstacles are described. These actions include support of policy-related applied research, reviews of research related to policy, support of new research relevant to practice, creation of new services and institutions devoted to children, support of child advocacy in a direct transfer of findings to policy, and increasing cooperation between the public and private sectors in their work in child development. Several illustrations of each of these modes of activity are presented. (8 ref)
