The newly-created Collaborative Youth and Child Network (CYCN) is supported by a Here and Next Seed Grant Award from the Office of the Washington University Provost, and designed to catalyze research by facilitating connection and collaboration among those at WashU who have the same end goal: To improve the health and wellbeing of children and youth. In this first year, we are hosting Spark Meetings and a Conference, and will offer modest financial support for a research assistant or to purchase a dataset (details to come). We also highlight relevant Grants and Awards as well as Opportunities (events, educational opportunities, job opportunities, and more).

We invite all in the WashU Community to participate! We hope that the CYCN enables you to find resources and people to bolster your research program and, ultimately, improve the lives of children and youth.
