FUNDED RESEARCH AND SERVICE CONTRACTS

In 1995, Dr. Bagnato created Early Childhood Partnerships (ECP), an innovative community-

based prevention, intervention, service, and research collaborative representing a unique

University-Hospital-Community partnership. ECP is designed to provide on-site

collaborative consultation to professionals in schools, agencies, and public organizations

who serve families and young children (birth to 8 years of age) who are at developmental

risk or who have developmental disabilities. ECP is supported by diverse funding streams,

which represent joint ventures with various community partners who share common missions.

ECP is a collaborative program of Children s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the University of

Pittsburgh. ECP is currently supported with approximately $1 million in grant and contract

funding to operate varied consultation and applied research projects. ECP employs 22 full-

time and part-time interdisciplinary professionals and faculty as well as 14 graduate

student interns from Pitt and Duquesne Universities.
