Connect. Share.
What is the Y1 Initiative?
The Y1 Directory is a public, opt-in space for discovering people and projects focused on the first year of life. Managed by ASU's Y1 Initiative, it's designed to make it easy to find collaborators, see what work is happening, and build momentum across roles and disciplines.
Who should join?
Faculty and researchers, clinicians and practitioners, community partners, students, data and tech collaborators, and supporters working in maternal, infant, and caregiver well-being.
