Presently over 100 leading researchers, non-profits, experts, clinicians and writers from neuroscience, cognitive and social psychology, child psychiatry, pediatrics, and public health are participating in the Institute. The Institute plans to support funding for research, provide a forum and clearinghouse for resources, work with industry on developing socially responsible media, develop advice for parents regarding a healthy media diet and discuss avenues for the development and advocacy of social policies that protect children.
