The CROP research program’s goal is to advance child health equity. To achieve this goal, the program seeks to translate clinical, community, and epidemiologic research findings into innovative population-level interventions during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood to prevent and treat childhood obesity and chronic diseases particularly among health disparity populations. The culture of the program is one that values growth, teamwork, and inclusion.

These include the Food FARMacia randomized trial of an infant food security intervention; the LINC mixed methods study of social risk factors, navigation, and neighborhoods; and the PCORI-funded CHIME (Comparing Health Interventions for Maternal Equity) program. The CHIME program focused on maternal- infant health equity through a comparative effectiveness research study, broader partnership network, partner learning network, and research mentorship program.
