Linking university-community initiatives to promote a children’s thriving pipeline across early developmental stages.
In: Pitt Momentum Fund 2023.
Abstract
Supporting child thriving is most effective when prevention programs are delivered at sequential developmental periods and evaluated for long-term impacts, using a sustained, cohesive, and community-engaged approach. In the proposed study, we aim to link three distinct – yet aligned- programs that support child thriving (0-4; 5-8; 9–11-year-olds) to place us in an advantageous position to apply for federal/national funding that links these programs. All three are part of The Pittsburgh Study, a community-partnered and anti-racist initiative, for the past 3 years. This scaling grant will support interdisciplinary staff, students, and expert consultants to (1) design an overarching theory of change across all three programs; (2) track current and future participants to assess sample and demographic characteristics for children that pass through one, two, or all three programs; and (3) create systems for integrated measure and data analytics to assess the interplay between multi-program enrollment and child outcomes. These deliverables will prepare us to present a cohesive conceptualization for scholarly and public dissemination, and to present persuasively to national and federal follow-on funding officers. Ultimately, such large external funding will situate Pitt as a national leader in university-community partnerships for child thriving.
