At Kid Risk, we focus on improving children's lives by understanding, characterizing, and communicating about the real risks that children face around the world and on empowering policy makers, parents, kids, and others to use the best available information to do our best for children. We recognize that managing risks is the key to realizing the best possible futures for everyone. Learn more about our mission and organization and meet our team.
Kid Risk currently focuses its research on managing the risks associated with polioviruses and characterizing the benefits of global investments in measles and rubella immunization. We receive funding for our research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Our research demonstrates that investments in public health save lives and money. Check out our recent news and our extensive research on the risks, costs, and benefits of possible future global policies for managing polioviruses and other important infectious diseases.
