Promoting neonatal equity & justice through collaboration
Who We Are
Who We Are
The Neonatal Justice Collaborative (NJC) is a national community of neonatologists, nurses, therapists, researchers, trainees, and family partners working to advance health equity, antiracism, and social justice in neonatal care. Through our Research, Policy/Advocacy, and Quality Improvement subcommittees, we connect members across institutions to study the disparities that affect newborns and their families, advocate for better policies, and improve care in our own NICUs.
Membership is free and open to anyone who shares our mission. Join our listserv to hear about upcoming meetings, events, and opportunities to get involved.

The NJC Mentor Directory!
The NJC Mentor Directory!
The Neonatal Justice Collaborative has gathered feedback from our members and understands the challenges of working in silos, limited resources, and limited mentorship available. Mentorship is a cornerstone of critical development in our careers and we would like for the NJC to be able to provide a Mentor Directory to all NJC members to utilize when in need of an expert in the neonatal settings both clinical and research-based.
If you are up for the challenge to guide the next leaders in our fields please complete the mentor form below to provide real-time access to our members.
