The Pittsburgh Study-University of Pittsburgh Dept of Pediatrics
They are an alliance of citizen scientists, community advocates, practitioners, and researchers working to ensure that every child in the region is healthy, thriving, and achieving their academic goals. Through research and collaboration, they focus on positive change and co-create program innovations and drive advocacy by sharing data to improve child health and racial equity. Their work is connected by a common framework of age-based scientific collaboratives spanning pregnancy through adolescence and cross-cutting scientific committees.
From surveys to committee co-leadership, their community members play leading roles in exploring, learning, creating, sharing, implementing, and transforming. Together, they foster local change by serving as a research incubator and network to steward work to address the most critical challenges that stand in the way of healthy and equitable growth and development. Working together as agents of change, they are addressing existing and emerging issues to reduce the obstacles our youth face in their everyday lives.
