SUMMARY:Turning Evidence into Action for Healthy Communities
DESCRIPTION:Scientific discovery alone is not enough to improve health and 
 well-being. Meaningful impact occurs when evidence-based interventions\, p
 rograms\, policies\, and practices are effectively disseminated to and imp
 lemented by the people and organizations that are positioned to bring them
  to life in communities. This session will explore ""what's next?"" for he
 alth promotion and disease prevention research by showcasing innovative st
 rategies for translating evidence into action across clinical\, community\
 , educational\, and public health settings.\n\nResearch leaders from the U
 NC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) and affiliate
 d programs will share brief presentations illustrating how they are extend
 ing the impact of their work and the findings of others beyond traditional
  research environments. Topics will include scaling evidence-based interve
 ntions\, disseminating effective policies and practices\, leveraging commu
 nity and institutional partnerships\, training the next generation of heal
 th educators and health professionals\, and advancing implementation strat
 egies that promote population health and well-being. Featured examples wil
 l span chronic disease prevention\, nutrition and culinary education\, ear
 ly childhood health promotion\, and cancer prevention.\n\nThrough a series
  of presentations and discussion\, speakers will reflect on the opportunit
 ies\, challenges\, and lessons learned in moving research into diverse rea
 l-world settings. The session will highlight multiple pathways for amplify
 ing evidence-based interventions through partnership\, practice\, and poli
 cy while fostering connections among researchers\, practitioners\, and com
 munity members interested in extending the reach and sustainability of hea
 lth promotion efforts.\n\nAttendees will gain insight into how Carolina re
 searchers are transforming discoveries into meaningful action and will be 
 invited to consider how collaboration can accelerate the translation of ev
 idence into healthier communities. This session will showcase the people\,
  partnerships\, and implementation strategies helping ensure that research
  makes a lasting difference where it matters most.\n\nThis is a virtual ev
