Stakeholder Advisory Board for Translation
The Stakeholder Advisory Board for Translation guides the EPRC in the translation of research into practice. Development of actionable products, training and technical assistance (TA), and dissemination to potential adopters help to institutionalize research translation as a fundamental building block of the EPRC. Additional goals are guiding the scalability of EPRC’s research tested interventions, generating new research ideas and fostering bi-directional communication about research needs. The Stakeholder Advisory Board helps connect Emory researchers to state and community partners, particularly in rural areas. Members include representatives from state and local public health agencies, United Way agencies, regional cancer coalitions, American Cancer Society, cooperative extension, health systems, and others.
