The caucus provides a valuable venue for public health academicians and public health practice partners, including representatives of federal, tribal, state, territorial and local governmental public health agencies, to share innovations, promote quality programs and services, and share research that helps to strengthen the evidence base on issues related to public health practice and education.
Demonstrating Excellence Report Series
The Demonstrating Excellence series is written for faculty and administrators in schools of public health as well as communities and organizations that benefit from scholarly research, teaching, and service. The series is designed to help stakeholders in academic public health to understand developments in four major fields: Practice-Based Service, Practice-Based Research, Practice-Based Teaching, and Academic Public Health Practice. “Demonstrating Excellence in the Scholarship of Practice-Based Service for Public Health” provides guiding principles, examples, and policy recommendations to help meet the academic responsibilities and challenges of engaged scholarship. It focuses on faculty members as agents of public health scholarship and as primary actors within academia for translating knowledge into improvements in practice, policy, and ultimately the health of populations.
