As a member of the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), the GHPC is engaged in NNPHI’s National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII). A major thrust of the CDC-sponsored program is the preparation of state, tribal, and territorial public health agencies for accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Advisory Board (PHAAB). The GHPC participates on the PHAAB and are currently contracted as evaluation experts, providing technical assistance on performance measures to 15 grantees. The GHPC acts as a liaison to the State public health agency and interested districts by sharing information and findings from the State Multi-Learning Collaboratives established to pilot national public health quality improvement and accreditation approaches.
