P3RC Research Assistant Wins Best Poster in the Master’s Scholarly Public Health Practice Category at SPH Research and Scholarship Day

Healthy CPS WSCC Network Initiative: Developing a Network Specialist Position and Toolkit

Mary Cleary's winning poster focuses on the Healthy CPS Network Initiative

Mary Cleary, a research assistant for the P3RC Core Research project, won best poster in the Master’s Scholarly Public Health Practice Competition at the first virtual School of Public Health Research and Scholarship Day. Cleary's poster focuses on the creation of a toolkit and Network Specialist position in Chicago Public Schools.  The Network Specialist and toolkit are core components of the Healthy CPS Network Initiative.

As the P3RC core research project progresses in the coming years, I am excited to see how these formative steps provide a foundation for the toolkit and specialist to influence the health and wellness outcomes in Chicago Public Schools.
