The May 26 PAPREN Network call focused on results of the annual evaluation survey and next steps. PAPREN PIs Stephenie Lemon and Jamie Chriqui first presented highlights. They then led a pseudo “tweet chat”, posing questions and getting answers from Network members. We offer a few highlights here plus opportunity to give us your input if you could not attend the call. You can access a recording of the call here.
We grew!
High satisfaction
Members are very satisfied with the Network overall.
PAPREN events hitting the mark
Members enjoy the Grand Rounds presentations for a variety of reasons.
Survey respondents told us other high-priority subjects for future Grand Rounds. We’re happy to say we already have one on climate scheduled for August and one with federal agencies scheduled for October.
Members attend Network calls for the brief presentations but also to hear from the CDC and our many partners.
After presenting these survey results about Grand Rounds and Network calls, we asked during the call what methods or solutions members want to hear about and what speakers they suggest for these topics. Send your thoughts to us at papren@umassmed.edu!
Following that discussion, we asked members two final questions:
- What else can PAPREN do to help support the field of physical activity policy research and evaluation?
- What strategies do you suggest for continuously growing the Network?
Do you have thoughts on either of these questions? Drop us a note to papren@umassmed.edu.
