Learn about HOPE research projects
The HOPE team is actively engaged in cutting edge research to further the knowledge about the effects of positive childhood experiences on health outcomes.

HOPE is even expanding internationally, recently participating in the preparation of a research grant submitted by the Transforming early Education and Child Health (TeEACH) group at Western Sydney University in New South Wales, Australia.
