Through the various sessions planned in the agenda, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about CDC PRC program expectations, processes, support, and requirements including NOFO, technical assistance, communications, and monitoring and evaluation for the 2024-2029 funding cycle.
• Get to know and engage the PRCs, CDC PRC staff, partners, collaborators, and subject matter experts participating in the PRC Network and learn about program recipient work including center activities, core research projects, and SIPs.
• Learn about new areas of focus for the 2024-2029 funding cycle including dissemination and implementation science, chronic disease prevention and health promotion, partnerships, health equity, and collective impact. 
• Participate in networking opportunities to foster collaboration, identify areas of common interest, and share information within the PRC Network and CDC.
