Director, Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP)

Dr. Hertzman is Director of the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), the College for Interdisciplinary Studies at UBC; Canada Research Chair in Population Health and Human Development; and Professor in the School of Population and Public Health at UBC.

Under Dr. Hertzman's leadership, HELP (est. 2001) has developed into an internationally recognized and unique research network that integrates the behavioural and social sciences with biomedical sciences to study life course development, with a particular focus on early child development. HELP's core partnership comprises over 200 faculty, graduate students and researchers from BC's six universities. Funded in part by the BC Ministry of Children & Family Development, HELP works closely with government and communities to understand how different environments contribute to different developmental outcomes for children.

Dr. Hertzman serves as Principal Investigator of the Provincial Early Child Development (ECD) Mapping Unit, the Child & Youth Developmental Trajectories Research Unit, and the Population Health and Learning Observatory. In 2005, HELP was designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the Knowledge Hub on Early Child Development, and Dr. Hertzman is Team Leader of the Knowledge Hub and the global Knowledge Network.

Nationally, Dr. Hertzman is a fellow of the Experience-based Brain and Biological Development Programme and the Successful Societies Programs of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIfAR).
