About PRC Research-to-Practice
The PRC’s Research-to-Practice Team operates as one component of Colorado’s statewide Prevention Support System. In collaboration with state and local partners, we have developed these tools to support communities implementing evidence-based programs (EBPs). All of our research-to-practice tools are designed from research-informed best practices and with the needs of implementation teams in mind. We recommend using these tools and how-to guides to inform your decisions during all phases of program implementation.
