Los Angeles County WIC Programs: Developing Infrastructure for Partnered Rese...UCLA CTSI
Los Angeles County Women, Infants and Children (LAC WIC) programs provide supplemental nutrition, health care referrals and nutrition education for low-income pregnant women or women with children under age 5 who are at nutritional risk. Although LAC WIC programs are often approached with research requests, they do not have a strategic plan to vet, manage or optimize in-house research. This project will create a strategic plan that will provide guidelines and tools to facilitate research of interest to LAC WIC leaders, participants, staff and academics.
The opening address from 'The turning tide: A new culture of research metrics', an event that brought together stakeholders within the higher education sector to explore the emerging culture of responsible metrics in research.
