Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute (PPSI)

PPSI is a multidisciplinary non-profit research institute within Iowa State University. Its mission is to conduct practical research that focuses on promoting capable and healthy youth, adults, families, and communities. PPSI scientists conduct both evaluation studies establishing the evidence-base for preventive interventions and partnership-based dissemination studies, to enhance capacity for the large-scale delivery of programs once their efficacy has been demonstrated. Through this work, PPSI scientists and implementation specialists are moving toward the development of initiatives fostering prevention workforce development.
