The Physical Activity and Public
Health (PAPH) Courses include an 8-day Postgraduate Course on Research
Directions and Strategies and a 6-day Practitioner's Course on Community
Interventions. The long-term goal of the courses is to improve the
public's health by increasing the number of public health researchers
and practitioners who have expertise in the relationship between
physical activity and health in populations.
The courses are held in September
of each year. Acceptance into the program is on a competitive basis.
Approximately twenty-five fellows are accepted for each course. Criteria
for acceptance include professional credentials, experience, and
potential to enhance public health research and practice.
The Physical Activity and
Public Health Courses are currently in their 14th year of successful
training for professionals in the field and received the 2004 CDC
Prevention Research Center Award for Excellence in Training and
Technical Assistance.
The 2008 PAPH
Courses are sponsored by:
