Welcome
The mission of the Prevention Research Center on Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is to work with community partners to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate cost-effective and evidence-based policies and programs that will improve population health by promoting healthy eating and active living and preventing chronic disease.
Since 1998, we’ve worked in partnership with schools, early care and education, out-of-school time, clinical, and other community partners to launch groundbreaking research to develop actionable, real-world solutions to promote nutrition and physical activity. We have developed, evaluated, and disseminated tools and trainings within our partner communities and states, as well as nationally and internationally.
High Impact Research
Our intervention and evaluation research has led to widespread use of evidence-based local, state, and federal public health policies and programs.
