| Mission |
ERPO plans, develops, coordinates, and evaluates
extramural research activities of the two Centers
within the Coordinating Center for Environmental
Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP)-- the National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control and the
National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for
Toxic Substance and Disease Registry-- in
cooperation with their Divisions and Offices. CDC has a public trust to use research dollars where they will have the maximum impact on public health. Good management of research involves three key steps: (1) Identification of research priorities. (2) Translation of these priorities into a balanced portfolio of intramural and extramural research. (3) Evaluation of research programs and outcomes. In addition, a fourth step is implied, i.e. the incorporation of lessons learned from evaluation into future prioritization and research.
