NNIP Partner Application: Drexel University's Urban Health Collaborative in Philadelphia

This is the application of the Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) in Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health to join NNIP and represent Philadelphia. 

The UHC has a mission to pursue:

• Data for action – generating information on the magnitude and causes of urban health problems that are useful to city residents and policymakers
• Evidence for policy - identifying the interventions and policies best suited to improving health and rigorously evaluating their implementation
• Community engagement - working with community stakeholders in order to increase the awareness of urban health issues and help them to translate evidence into effective action

See the NNIP announcement of the acceptance of UHC for more information.
