Welcome to 2021!
With the holidays behind us, PAPREN is gearing up for the year ahead. Ken Rose of CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (our funder) will give a short overview of the Active People, Healthy NationSM initiative on the January 27 Network call. The next Grand Rounds are planned. Dr. Charles Branas of Columbia University will present February 24 (register here). Beth Osborne of Transportation for America will join us on April 28. All six PAPREN Work Groups have innovative projects underway, and early products will come out soon. The Active Living Conference takes place April 6-9. And that’s all in just the next few months!
Member survey coming!
The PAPREN Coordinating Center believes strongly in being responsive to our members and evaluating our progress as a Network. To that end, we will conduct the first annual evaluation survey in the first quarter of 2021. This will mark a year since we conducted our formative survey in early 2020. The information will help us plan for the future.
We want to hear from you
