TECCF is working with The Story Collider to share our stories!

To our amazing community,

Thanks again for all your support! Over the last few weeks, I've worked closely with our grant funders at SeRCH Foundation and The Story Collider, a non-profit supporting scientists to share true, personal stories about science. At this event, I'll share how the Translating Evidence to Care for Child Farmworkers project was born, challenges along the way ( e.g., restructuring a smaller team and pivoting research methods), unexpected discoveries, and how I'm thinking about moving this work forward. If you're available, please tune in at 4pm Eastern Time today! Visit: youtube.com/vanguardstem -Ebuwa

About This Project

In the United States, 1 child dies of injuries sustained during farm work every 3 days. Protective social policies could reduce the incidence of these injuries and improve the health of over 700,000 child farmworkers, largely from low-income families. Using an innovative systems-change approach, we will work alongside community partners in the Midwest to study the health impacts of occupational hazards on child farmworkers and develop sustainable policies to protect them.

Blast off!
