Goal 3: Advance the field of childhood obesity prevention research
by improving coordination communication and collaboration on the
Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC)
Anticipated Impact
Greater collaboration and information sharing could increase campus capacity to
engage in research and increase efficiencies. Additionally, improved information sharing
will support efforts to more quickly and effectively disseminate research findings with
an ultimate aim to reduce childhood obesity by increasing community capacity to
understand effective prevention strategies and how to put those strategies into practice.
Strategy 3.1
Enhance information sharing regarding AMC driven childhood obesity research efforts to
facilitate greater collaboration and efficiencies.
Tactic: Conduct needs assessment amongst obesity researchers and community
providers to determine gaps in current information sharing systems. Identify what type
of information would be most useful.
Tactic: Explore current systems for tracking research efforts and methods for accessing
information. Identify opportunities.
Tactic: Pilot systems improvement initiatives.
Setting / Delivery Mechanism
Provider – The goal is to connect providers with obesity researchers with whom
they can potentially collaborate.
