of the Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents, Third Edition and subsequent editions.
The primary focus of this cooperative agreement is on the implementation of Bright Futures-identifying opportunities and engaging key partners to leverage improvements in health promotion and prevention, developing and implementing strategies and tools and assessing their effectiveness, and taking effective strategies to scale.

These activities will be undertaken only through close consultation with MCHB.

2) developing, implementing, evaluating, and taking to scale innovative strategies and tools to foster the use of Bright Futures by multidisciplinary providers of pediatric clinical care, including oral health care, in a variety of settings; by public health professionals; and by families and communities; 3) fostering the integration of Bright Futures into the education and training of health care providers in multiple disciplines, including oral health and public health, at the pre-service and continuing education levels; and 4) improving the evidence base for health promotion and preventive services for infants, children and adolescents by supporting early career pediatric clinical investigators.
