SUMMARY:2021 National Prenatal-to-3 Research to Policy Summit
DESCRIPTION:The National Prenatal-to-3 Research to Policy Summit will be held virtually only on Thursday\, October 7\, 2021. Join thousands of policymakers\, scholars\, and practitioners across the country to learn how to strengthen state policies that impact the foundational prenatal-to-three development period\, starting with rigorous evidence. \nMore Information\nRegistration to attend this virtual and free event via the online registration form. Sessions will include: \n\n\nTop Takeaways from States\n\nThrough all the challenges of the past year\, many states have remained committed and increased investments that strengthen systems impacting the prenatal to age 3 period (PN-3). Hear directly from state leaders about what actions they’ve taken and what lessons they’ve learned over this historic year.\n\n\n\n2021 Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap Release\n\nThe annual Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap is the go-to guide for the field that details which specific state policies and strategies are most impactful on the PN-3 development period and where states are on each of them.  The new 2021 Roadmap has been streamlined and is packed with new data to incorporate into your work.\n\n\n\nSame Family\, Different Support\n\nState policy choices have a significant impact on the resources available to families. See the Roadmap come to life in a unique in-depth analysis of how a set of state policy choices leads to substantial variation in the resources available to a sample family of three – a single mother with an infant and a toddler\, who works full time at a minimum wage job – based on the state in which they live.\n\n\n\nOn the Horizon\n\nThrough systematic\, rigorous reviews of research\, the Policy Impact Center works to identify which state investments best support the most sensitive and rapid period of a child’s developing brain and body. Hear about our newest reviews of the evidence on promising and innovative prenatal-to-3 policies and strategies\, including the child allowance\, fair work scheduling\, and more.
