Elevate Announcements and Abstract Submissions

The National Coordinating Center for Public Health Training Center (NCCPHT) seeks ideas, listings, and submissions from Regional Public Health Training Centers (RPHTCs) and its partners for our periodic publication, Elevate. Elevate, your resource for lifelong learning in public health practice and population health improvement, focuses on public health workforce needs as well as hot topics and relevant strategies in public health training and education.

At this time, we are currently not accepting abstract submission for our Fall 2023 edition, However, please feel free to submit for Spring 2024. Elevate’s previous editions focused on pertinent public health topics, such as Health Equity and Capacity Building, to address urgent needs. NCCPHT seeks abstract submissions which highlight themes including:

• Stories about leadership development programs that seek to diversify the public health workforce and promote health equity.
• Information about skill-building programs that incorporate innovative strategies and multi-modal elements that promote leadership development.
• Research or other evidence on the success of leadership development programs or trainings in public health; and
• Trainings and other learning opportunities that highlight leadership development for the public health workforce.

Should your abstract be accepted for inclusion in Elevate, NNPHI will collaborate with your team on the writing and editing of the article (if desired) and will share key deadlines as a part of the notification process.

To submit your ideas and abstracts for the Elevate Spring 2024 edition, please email training@nnphi.org.
