The next generation of electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories will open unprecedented windows to the birth of the first supermassive black holes. This has the potential to reveal their origin and growth in the first billion years, as well as the signatures of their formation history in the local Universe. With this in mind, we outline three key focus areas which will shape research in the next decade and beyond:
What were the "seeds" of the first quasars; were there multiple channels, and can we differentiate between them, either for high-z objects and/or SMBHs today; how did some reach a billion solar masses before z~7?
How does black hole growth change over cosmic time, and how did the early growth of black holes shape their host galaxies? Conversely, how did the first stars in primordial galaxies influence the conditions for early SMBH growth; what can we learn from intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) and dwarf galaxies today?
