Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) is proud to announce four new Strategic Opportunities projects to help improve outcomes for children and youth with neurodisabilities and their families.  

The Strategic Opportunity stream enables KBHN to rapidly invest in high-impact, partner-aligned projects. This unique funding stream advances funder-aligned impact, leverages matching funds, and catalyzes the real-world implementation of innovative solutions for children, youth, and their families. 

These targeted investments play a significant role in advancing KBHN’s key performance indicators while contributing to the network’s long-term mission. By design, Strategic Opportunity projects allow KBHN to remain nimble, respond to emerging needs, support promising collaborations, and accelerate the spread and scale of access to innovative solutions for families.  

Congratulations to the four Strategic Opportunities projects!

A core strength of this program is its ability to maximize impact through partnership. By aligning with external organizations, governments, and funders, KBHN can leverage matching contributions and extend the reach of each investment. 

This collaborative approach ensures federal investment goes further while amplifying results, accelerating implementation, and delivering meaningful and sustainable change in the lives of children, youth and families.
