NEW YORK, Nov. 25, 2024 ~ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently announced the renewal of funding for the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center (NYU-CUNY PRC) for a new project cycle. This project will focus on chronic disease prevention and management in underserved communities, utilizing innovative community-clinical linkage strategies.
Established in 2009, the NYU-CUNY PRC is one of 20 CDC-designated centers in the national network of PRCs. Its main goal is to translate evidence-based and innovative programs to increase access to care and address health disparities among marginalized populations. The research studies conducted by the center are based at NYU Langone's Department of Population Health and at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH).
The core research project for the 2024-2029 cycle aims to improve diabetes management among low-income immigrant populations through culturally tailored education and support. This project will test a multi-level Community-Clinical Linkage (CCL) model that integrates a technology-enabled platform for accessing social care, Community Health Workers (CHWs) as case managers, and mobile health-based diabetes education and support.

According to CUNY SPH Distinguished Professor Terry Huang, co-director of NYU-CUNY PRC and principal investigator on the core research study, "By bridging the gap between clinical services and community-based support, we can reach people who experience significant barriers in their day-to-day lives that prevent them from effectively managing their diabetes." Other principal investigators on this study include NYU Langone faculty members Drs. Brita Roy and Lu Hu.
The investigators plan to use culturally adapted strategies for diabetes management and prevention in hopes of seeing improved health outcomes for this population. They also aim to enhance the capacity for community partners to adopt and implement evidence-based interventions effectively, as well as develop a portfolio of tools and resources that can be disseminated widely across healthcare systems serving diverse populations.
To achieve these goals, the NYU-CUNY PRC will leverage existing partnerships with healthcare providers, municipal agencies, and community organizations. The center will also provide training workshops and technical assistance for external partners engaged in CCL initiatives.
Dr. Nadia Islam, professor and director of Translational Research Partners at NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Department of Population Health and MPI of the NYU-CUNY PRC, states that "As the only CDC-funded prevention research center based in New York City, our vision is to serve as the premier citywide and national resource to support community-clinical linkage models." She adds that working closely with community-based, municipal, and healthcare partners has allowed the center to play a leading role in advancing the science of effective, replicable, and scalable CHW models and programs to improve health equity across diverse populations.

Dr. Lorna Thorpe, the Anita Steckler and Joseph Steckler professor and chair of the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone, expresses pride in this public-private partnership between a CEPH-accredited minority-serving public school of public health (CUNY SPH) and a leading academic medical school with expertise in population health and prevention research (NYU). She believes that this partnership promotes health equity and social justice in New York City.
In addition to funding for the parent NYU-CUNY PRC, the CDC has also provided funding for four special interest projects within the NYU-CUNY PRC network. These include Advancing Research in Immunization Services Network (ARISe), Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN), Managing Epilepsy Well Network (MEW), and Gauging men's reaction to relabeling of GG1 prostate cancer and understanding of pathology reports.
