Putting Public Health Evidence in Action Training

We are pleased to offer introductory modules from the Putting Public Health Evidence in Action training, comprised of pre-recorded webinars with activity guides and practical tools.  This workshop, created by the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) with funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aims to build participant's capacity to implement and evaluate evidence-based approaches to address cancer issues.

The trainings are designed for people working with community projects and/or community-based research, as the skills you learn will support development of community-based projects and grant proposals.

All three modules should take less than 1.5 hours to complete.
