Focus on CDC Prevention Research Centers
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Prevention Research Centers (PRC) is a network of 26 academic research centers across the country that study how people and their communities can avoid or counter the risks for chronic illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, cancer and others.
The 2018 Health Equity Research Snapshot, an initiative of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), highlights seven videos that feature innovative community-partnered research projects at PRCs housed within AAMC member medical schools with preventive medicine residency programs. As leaders in translating research results into policy and public health practice, the centers work with communities to develop, evaluate, and implement major community changes that can prevent and control chronic diseases and move neighborhoods and the nation closer to health and health care equity.
