HARC and the National Home Visiting Summit
September 2026 – Baltimore, Maryland
National Home Visiting Summit
HARC has partnered with Start Early and the National Home Visiting Summit for many years. We are pleased to continue our collaboration this year on a joint poster session at the Summit. As in prior years, HARC leaders will work with the Start Early review team to select a set of research posters that align with HARC’s objectives. The selected posters will be highlighted at the poster session and featured on our website after the meeting.
We will be looking for poster abstracts that highlight innovative, high impact research that aligns with HARC’s core objectives, including:
- Innovative research methods and designs
- Community-engaged research, such as research-practice partnerships
- Principles of precision home visiting
- Data linking, sharing, and/or interoperability
- The role of state and local context in home visiting service delivery and outcomes
We encourage all interested HARC members to submit an abstract to the HV Summit. Abstracts are due by January 26th via the Summit’s online portal.
We will also give special consideration to poster abstracts led by early career scholars. HARC will offer a travel award to cover meeting registration for up to three scholars whose posters are selected and who are undergraduate or graduate students or up to 5 years post-terminal degree (master’s or PhD).
If you have any questions or would like any assistance from the HARC Coordinating Center in preparing your abstract, please reach out to harc@hvresearch.org

We are also excited to share that we are planning our 10th Annual HARC Meeting immediately before the Summit, on the afternoon of September 28th, in Baltimore. As always, our meeting will be free to attend and open to all HARC members. Much more information to come!
