Giving Kids HOPE
Established in 2005 by the J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Foundation, the mission of HOPE at NYU is to fight childhood obesity with science. HOPE is committed to reversing this deadly, costly, and preventable public health problem by developing, testing, and disseminating evidence-based interventions for at risk and overweight youth and their families. HOPE will provide effective solutions to combat childhood obesity on a national basis and communicate valuable information about the promotion of healthy living to children, families, professionals and policymakers.
