Finding better ways to protect and promote your health
About the Prevention Research Initiative (2000-2005)
Research!America's Prevention Research Initiative was designed to conduct a national public education and outreach campaign to increase awareness and support for disease prevention and public health research. Funded by the The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the PRI promoted the understanding that prevention and public health research are the bridge that links health research with everyday practices that everyone can use to lead healthier, happier lives.
