The Steering Committee of the Wisconsin Public Health Practice-Based Research Network held its first teleconference on January 7, 2010 beginning an exploration of how best to build a sustainable public health practice-based research network in Wisconsin. This work begins a two-year project which is part of a national initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Wisconsin is one of six new states receiving awards.

Representatives from twelve local health departments will participate as initial project partners at a kick-off meeting scheduled for January 29th in Marshfield.
