Projects should focus on issues faced by care providers that, when implemented, will improve the health, nutrition, and/or developmental outcomes for infants and young children. The board is particularly looking for practical solutions that can be easily and rapidly implemented on a broad scale with a predictable time frame to clinical application. The foundation seeks projects that will result in ‘new’ information, treatments, or tools that will result in a change in practice.
