Submission - HRSA – Life Course
Research Network (LCRN) (HRSA-16-033); May 17, 2016
Purpose: The life course theory
posits that multiple determinants, such as health care, nutrition, stress and
supports, and environmental exposures, operating over the life course are
critical drivers of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) outcomes. The LCRN is
designed to accelerate the translation of the life course theory to MCH
practice and policy and foster its rapid adoption into clinical and public
health settings through systems integration and collaboration among entities
interested in improving MCH outcomes. This cooperative agreement opportunity
will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multi-site research network.
A network is a scientific forum for collaboration and infrastructure building
that provides national leadership to improve and advance the field of life course
research.
