History

The PRCHN was established in October 2009.  Here's the official press release from that point that takes a comprehensive look at the components and intentions of the Center.

The Center builds on the existing Center for Health Promotion Research (CHPR), also housed at Case Western Reserve University.  The CHPR was founded in 2000 and was led by the Co-Director of the PRCHN, Elaine A. Borawski, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.  In 2010 the CHPR was absorbed into the PRCHN, along with several of its signature projects.
