Description
The purpose of the program is to create, evaluate, test, and otherwise inform health policy development that will aid CDC in creating and advancing health policies that positively affect health at the population level. The objectives of this cooperative agreement support and align with Healthy People 2020 as it is expected to serve multiple program areas as well as support cross-cutting initiatives. This cross-cutting initiative will:
� Identify evidence-based and promising policy interventions that improve population health by conducting analyses, reviewing published literature and/or assessing case studies at the state, tribal, territorial, local, national level, and writing policy briefs or memos on these evidence-based and promising policies. Policy interventions may include health and cross-sector policies that impact health in a range of settings, such as policies that encourage healthier food choices in school or workplace cafeterias, or incorporate avenues for physical activity into plans for local residential or commercial development.
� Develop and implement methods to promulgate and replicate successful or promising policy interventions. Activities may include developing and implementing a strategy to communicate the value of a policy intervention or to spotlight or acknowledge successful policy implementation by convening a lecture series, developing educational and communications materials, coordinating an awards program to recognize successful policy efforts and initiatives, or placing �earned media� pieces. Activities may also include, developing key messages that convey the value of specific policies to support policy implementation or identifying model cross-sector stakeholder engagement strategies to inform policy formulation and implementation, including coordination of stakeholders in local and state government, business and private industry, public health, and health care delivery.
� Analyze, assess, and formulate, policy approaches based on evidence and current research on feasible, effective policies that improve health. Solicit stakeholder input and subject matter expertise to assist in drafting of relevant, feasible, and evidence-based policies.
