Status: Current

Grant Start: 09/01/2019

This career development award brings together an accomplished team of experts to address the longitudinal impact of a novel outdoor preschool model on childhood obesity, physical activity, sleep, and academic achievement. The study also includes a robust cost-benefit analysis, which holds great promise for influencing policies related to social determinants of health (for example, outdoor time in youth) and early childhood education.
