GROWBABY operates as a community-based, practice-based research network and is an initiative of the CRADLE (Childhood Research to Advance Developmental-Health Learning and Equity) Research Lab, the research and evaluation arm of the Vital Village Networks organization at Boston Medical Center. CRADLE Lab at Vital Village Networks serves as the backbone organization for the GROWBABY Research Network. Vital Village Networks’ mission is to develop community-based strategies to promote child wellbeing and advance health and educational equity through research, data sharing, and collective action. Developing networks and cross-sector collaborations where community residents co-lead and co-design is a central strategy.
