The Equity Research Action Coalition, founded by FPG Faculty Fellow Iheoma Iruka, PhD, in partnership with practitioners and policymakers, co-constructs actionable research to support the optimal development of Black children prenatally through childhood across the African diaspora using a cultural wealth framework. It will focus on developing a science-based action framework to eradicate the impact of racism and poverty and all its consequences on the lives of Black children, families, and communities, and to ensure optimal health, well-being, school readiness and success, and overall excellence.
