The New Jersey Healthy Kids Initiative (NJHKI) comprises a multi-disciplinary team of education and child health experts passionate about research, health, and outreach. Our work is grounded in community participatory research, and at the heart of our mission is partnership and service with families, youth, and communities. Since inception in 2018, our small team has greatly impacted the university and its surrounding communities. NJHKI’s research prioritizes supporting and enhancing community capacity, strengthening collaborative approaches to problem-solving, and offering services that will directly benefit our program participants.
