Center Structure

The RMPRC is organized into three core areas to support intervention, evaluation, and translation activities of the Center. Cores serve as a resource for community and academic partners, provide oversight of project teams, and provide a forum to review ongoing projects, help resolve methodological problems, and discuss potential new projects.

Intervention Core

Julie Marshall, PhD, Intervention Core Director

Intervention Core members conduct interventions aimed at health promotion and/or provide consultation to state and local agencies regarding the conduct of intervention activities.
