The UCLA Pritzker Center for Strengthening Children and Families is a new UCLA campus-wide initiative made possible by a generous gift from the Anthony and Jeanne Pritzker Family Foundation. The center aims to promote healthy nurturing families, equitable opportunities, and educational success for children and their caregivers, with a particular focus on youth in foster care. The center plans to proactively and strategically link the transdisciplinary work of UCLA to community nonprofit agencies, K-12 systems, and to systems that serve children and families and address mental health, child welfare, education, health, and policy in Los Angeles County. A major focus of the UCLA Pritzker Center for Strengthening Children and Families is a balanced investment in both prevention and intervention strategies for children and families.
The UCLA Pritzker Center for Strengthening Children and Families announces an opportunity for one-year research Seed Grant Awards of up to $25,000. We would like to invite you to an informational meeting on Tuesday, November 27, 9-10:30 a.m. at the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center to learn more about the grants and our goals for the Center. Light breakfast will be provided. Please RSVP here by November 23, 5 p.m.
The main goal of the seed grants is to offer UCLA faculty, program staff, or trainees the chance to undertake an interdisciplinary project with UCLA colleagues from a different school, division, or specialization area and in partnership with a community organization or system aimed at strengthening children and families in Los Angeles. The UCLA Pritzker Center seed grant program places a priority on multidisciplinary efforts and explorations that are partnered with the Los Angeles community.
We look forward to meeting and collaborating with you on work that benefits not only children and families involved in the child welfare system, but children and families in general.
