The objective of this symposium is to raise scholarly awareness and further develop a research agenda focused on the social determinants of child health. Researchers from the social sciences, public health, and medicine will present their work on this topic. Topics covered will include: the social, biological, and environmental determinants of child health; patterns and trends in child health; child health policies; and emerging issues in child health (e.g., autism, ADHD, vaccinations).

Recipients will be expected to present a poster that details their original research on the social determinants of child health. Recipients will also be expected to attend all symposium events. Awards will be approximately $500 and can be used to offset the cost of domestic travel and hotel accommodations (additional funds may be available). We expect to make 10 awards. In addition, we are exploring the possibility of publishing a special issue on the social determinants of child health in conjunction with a peer-reviewed journal. Recipients will have an opportunity to submit their research to the special issue.

Awards will be assessed based on the scientific merit of the research, the suitability of the research to the symposium’s themes, and the potential benefits to the applicant.
