The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to participate in the new study on early relational health. The study will examine evidence from family engagement and place-based community initiatives to identify effective strategies for strengthening early relational health, with attention to how social and economic conditions of daily life shape child and family well-being. It will assess practices and implementation strategies that support cross-sector early childhood systems change, including scale-up and sustainability, and identify federal and state policies, programs, and research priorities needed to advance and sustain early relational health.
Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will be looking to build a committee of approximately [14] volunteer experts in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and peer reviewers for any publications resulting from the activity.
