Thrasher Research Fund Award

Our proposal "Pathways between maternal nutrition, toxicant exposure, home environment and child neurodevelopment" was awarded a Thrasher Research Fund Early Career Award by the Thrasher Research Fund.

This will be the first study to evaluate the pathways between maternal nutrition, environmental toxicants and child neurodevelopment. We will examine these pathways with in our prospective birth cohort (n=727) of American and Dominican women and their children from low-income neighborhoods in the Bronx and Northern Manhattan.

We look forward to embarking on this exciting proposal.
