Healthy Start for All Faculty Interest Form

The Healthy Start for All initiative brings together UW–Madison faculty whose research and scholarship contribute to healthier beginnings for children and families by focusing on fostering thriving from the prenatal period through early childhood, as well as the impact of these early years on later life stages.

The initiative is jointly led by Deans Nita Ahuja (School of Medicine and Public Health), Marcelle Haddix (School of Education), and Soyeon Shim (School of Human Ecology) in partnership with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, with the long-term goal of integrating this work with the RISE THRIVE Headquarters.

Healthy Start for All spans a broad range of disciplines, including maternal and child health, early child development, early relational health, early literacy, family well-being, education, and the social, environmental, economic, and policy factors that shape healthy development.
