Public Health/ Center for the Advancement of Collaborative Strategies in Health
For over a decade, the Division of Public Health explored how complex problems affecting people’s health and well-being are understood and addressed. Working with communities across the country, the Division’s Center for the Advancement of Collaborative Strategies in Health developed practical tools to enable diverse people to contribute and use their knowledge. The Center’s work in emergency preparedness—Redefining Readiness—documented that policymakers and planners need to learn from the public in order to protect the public, leading to the development of new engagement practices. The Center’s work in Pathways to Collaboration made it possible for government officials, practitioners and funders to give people who have been excluded from community decision making an influential voice about issues that affect their lives.
