Data Modernization

NACDD embraced public health’s focus on data modernization and deepened its expertise to advance the knowledge, skills, and capacities of the chronic disease workforce.

Action Labs

Action Labs are a series of virtual meetings activating peer groups through a modified Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results (SOAR) analysis. The Action Lab supports participants in defining three-to-five actions they can take within their organization during a 21-day action period to advance collective efforts toward a shared goal.
