text: The report finds that (1) by forging links with academia, CDC has created a gateway for access to a cadre of well-trained, university-based researchers who could serve to inform and collaborate with the agency and the public health community regarding health promotion and disease prevention; (2) the PRC has made substantial progress in advancing the scientific infrastructure in support of disease and health promotion policy, programs, and practices; (3) each of the centers has made some contributions toward one or more of the goals of the program (research, dissemination, and developing connections with the community and public health practitioners); (4) there are substantial differences among the PRCs in the kinds of activities they have undertaken and the success realized (only a few have made substantial progress in all areas); and (5) CDC's management of the program has been creative in the face of limited resources relative to its mandate-dogged in pursuing the mandate over a 10-year period in a bureaucratic environment that was not created or structured for the management of university-based research programs, and skilled in enhancing a sense of community and networking among the funded centers in a time of disappointing funding levels.
