Dr. Ferraro’s work focuses on co-parenting after divorce but his research program more broadly focuses on familial relationships during periods of transition, both structural (divorce, remarriage, reintegration, etc.) and developmental (launching, placement in long term care, etc.).  Dr. Ferraro has been the principal or co-principal investigator on numerous primary data collections, including the Co-Parenting Across Households Study, the Parenting After Divorce project, the Emerging Adult Healthy Relationships Study, and the Successful Co-parenting After Divorce Toolkit and associated study (for which him and his team were recently presented with a Prudential Productivity Award from the state of Florida).  Currently, Dr. Ferraro leads the Families in Transition research lab at Kansas State and serves as the Student & New Professional Representative for the Family Policy section of the National Council on Family Relations.
