Provided coaching and technical assistance to CDC’s nutrition and physical activity grantees.
PI provided coaching and technical assistance to grantees of the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO). The grantee programs include the State Physical Activity and Nutrition Program (SPAN), the High Obesity Program (HOP), and Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH). We focused on topics like community engagement, coalition building, and sustainability. PI worked especially closely with Beaumont Health Foundation at Corewell Health in Detroit, MI, to support their landscape analysis process and launch their REACH coalition. Building on lessons learned from our technical assistance to CDC DNPAO grantees over the years, we developed a resource guide that can support organizations and coalitions that work to improve community conditions and change systems to advance health. Whether the user is just starting out and needs support building a coalition, already has partners but is thinking about how to prioritize issue areas for action, or is ready to go deeper into strategies that address root causes and advance transformative systems change, this guide will provide key resources and frameworks, sample discussion questions for consideration, and recommendations for practice.
