Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

Partnership of CDC UNC and non-funded WISEWOMAN

Programs to train practitioners to implement the New Leaf

intervention in underserved populations in their states In Nevada

we trained VISTA volunteers to implement New Leaf with tribal

organizations In Alabama we trained Community Health Advisors

income rural counties

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

to implement the New Leaf Healthy Weight module in 5 low-

income rural counties

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

Partnership of CDC UNC and non-funded WISEWOMAN

income rural counties

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

Partnership of CDC UNC and non-funded WISEWOMAN

Programs to train practitioners to implement the New Leaf

intervention in underserved populations in their states In Nevada

we trained VISTA volunteers to implement New Leaf with tribal

organizations In Alabama we trained Community Health Advisors

income rural counties

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

Partnership of CDC UNC and non-funded WISEWOMAN

to implement the New Leaf Healthy Weight module in 5 low-

income rural counties

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2004-present New Leaf Training for WISEWOMAN Partner Programs -

Partnership of CDC UNC and non-funded WISEWOMAN

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

(designed and tested in the WISEWOMAN Project) into practical

community-level intervention tools to promote cardiovascular

health Upon completion of packet we will disseminate to NC

WISEWOMAN health departments and potentially to state-level

WISEWOMAN programs in the Fall of 2005

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

Projects - Tailored community resource packet that translates new

community and environmental resource intervention components

2003-2004 NC Consensus Panel To Recommend Standards for All Foods

Available in Schools ndash As a member of this panel of educators

nutritionists physicians and public health professionals contributed

to the development of ldquoEat Smart NCrsquos Recommended Standards for

All Foods Available in Schoolrdquo This document grew out of a

recommendation from the NC Task Force on Healthy Weight in

Children and Youth These recommended standards are being used

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

2001-2003 NC Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth ndash Served

as Co-chair of the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation and

as a member of the Executive Committee of the Task Force This

Task Force developed the state plan which outlines the

recommendations for public health action to reduce the prevalence

of obesity in children The state plan ldquoMoving Our Children Toward a

Healthy WeighthellipFinding the Will and the Wayrdquo has been the guiding

force behind much of North Carolinarsquos response to the obesity

epidemic including actions but the State Board of Education and the

Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission As the Co-chair of

the subcommittee on monitoring and evaluation lead the

development of recommendations related to surveillance and

research This work lead to the development and implementation of

a statewide physical activity and nutrition behavior surveillance

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

UNC School of Public Health Office of Continuing Education

2004-present Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation ndash

Principal Investigator for this Center which is funded by CDC The

mission of the Center of Excellence is ldquoto enhance the public health

impact of the WISEWOMAN Program and the Nutrition and

Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic

Diseases through training and intervention translation initiatives

that extend their reach improve their effectiveness strengthen their

adoption in real-world setting improve the quality of their

operations and sustain their efforts over timerdquo The Centerrsquos two

main functions are 1) to provide ongoing training for public health

practitioners and 2) to disseminate evidence-based interventions

best practices and implementation tools for use by public health

practitioners Through this Center I am guiding the development of

a model for translation of evidence-based interventions and best

practices into public health practice a web accessible database of

interventions best practices and implementation tools curricula to

train state and local public health practitioners in the skills necessary

to translate interventions for their settings and population a method

for assessing whether Centerndashsponsored training intervention

translation and dissemination initiatives achieve maximum public

health impact for the WISEWOMAN and Nutrition and Physical

Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases

2004-present Community Resource Packet Linking Clinical Care and Community

Resources for Cardiovascular Health A Guide for WISEWOMAN

by educators parents policy makers and community leaders to

implement change in school policy and practice that support sound

nutrition as part of a healthy school environment

2001-present Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care

(NAP SACC) - Worked with the NC Division of Public Health and

UNC colleagues to develop and pilot test a policy and

environmental change intervention in child care settings The NAP

SACC intervention guides child care providers through an

assessment of their nutrition and physical activity policy practice

and environment Training and targeted technical assistance is

provided to staff in participating centers Following the successful

pilot of the intervention NAP SACC has been adapted for use in six

states (SC DE WA NY AZ MA) and three additional grants have

been funded to support the continued evaluation and enhancement

of the intervention Within NC my team is working with the

Division of Child Development the Division of Public Health and

NC Partnership for Children to develop a statewide plan for

dissemination of NAP SACC to childcare providers across the state

In addition the Division of Child Development initiated discussion

with me regarding potential licensure rules changes related to

nutrition and physical activity in child care

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The

National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES) and the

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

National Training Courses

2005- Present Obesity Prevention in Public Health Course

The primary goal of this intensive 5 day course is to enhance the capacity of

State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity to

implement and sustain nutrition and physical activity interventions that

link multiple levels of influence (individual interpersonal

institutionalorganizational community and public policy) to reach

individuals as well as the broader social context in which they live A

secondary goal of the Course is to encourage and strengthen linkages and

mentoring relationships between state program coordinators through

shared learning experiences problem solving and networking

opportunities

2002-Present Nutrition and Public Health ndash A Course For Community Practitioners

This intensive 5-day course serves public health practitioners (nutritionists

and non-nutritionists) who desire to learn more about planning and

developing nutrition interventions at the individual organizational

community and policy levels Emphasis is given to nutrition interventions

for low income and uninsured women at increased risk for chronic diseases

associated with dietary and lifestyle practices The NPH Course has been

held annually since 2002 Over the four project years 114 participants from

34 states including 42 WISEWOMAN Program participants 5 Obesity

Prevention Program participants and 20 CDC observers completed the

weeklong course This training course has been approved to issue

continuing education credits from the American Dietetic Association The
