Rochester Prevention Research Center: National Center for Deaf Health Research is awarded five more years of funding!

We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our Prevention Research Center grant from the CDC. This will allow us to continue our research efforts for the next 5 years (2019-2024). We plan to use Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) to engage Deaf Communities in Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo to implement Deaf Weight Wise (DWW) in these areas.
