Dr. Kimberly Noble will present her work on how poverty impacts children&#8217;s cognitive, emotional and brain development. This session will equip attendees with current research and insights into the foundations of brain development, emphasizing the critical role of poverty reduction in early childhood. Dr. Noble is a Principal Investigator of the Baby\u2019s First Years study, the first randomized controlled trial in the US to test the causal impact of poverty reduction, through direct cash payments to families, on children\u2019s early development. This keynote builds on the 2024 address by Dr. Megan Gunnar, who highlighted how supportive and responsive relationships with caregivers can buffer the negative effects of early adversity and foster resilience in children.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upcoming Symposium Policy, Practice and Possibility: Advancing Child Health Through Research Friday, Oct. 10, 2025 Register now Agenda MN EHR Consortium Health Trends Across Communities Dashboard: Key Maternal and Child Health Indicators Presenters: Elyse Kharbanda, MD, MPH, and Sam Patnoe, MPH, from HealthPartners Institute The Minnesota EHR Consortium is a collaboration of 11 health systems [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":10485,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-17502","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Annual Symposium \u2013 Pregnancy and Child Health Research Center - HealthPartners Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Upcoming symposium \u2013 Policy, Practice, and Possibility: Advancing Child Health Through Research.
