In recognition for the need to connect policy evidence to policy development, the Fund has awarded the national Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center at The University of Texas at Austin LBJ School of Public Affairs with a generous multi-year financial commitment.

The Policy Impact Center launched as part of the Child and Family Research Partnership in 2019 with initial support from the J.B. and M.K. Pritzker Family Foundation.
