Technical Assistance
The University of Illinois-Chicago’s (UIC) Policy, Practice and Prevention Research Center (P3RC) (opens in new window) is funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) as a strategic planning partner and convener for the Illinois Public Health Workforce Transformation Initiative. The Center for Public Health Systems (CPHS) is the technical assistance provider for the Illinois Public Health Capacity and Cost Assessment (“Illinois CCA”). CPHS staff will provide technical assistance and targeted, collaborative support to participants in completing the Illinois CCA. Support offerings include but are not limited to:
- Offering live orientation and office hours as well as recordings of past events and webinars (see below).
- One-on-one or group support, as needed and as capacity allows.
- A variety of materials made freely available through the Resources (opens in new window) folder (see Resources page (opens in new window)).
