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.
