Other topics that are welcomed include community engagement, health equity, data utilization, place-based interventions, environmental health, housing, health systems and services, food systems, social determinants of health, coalition development, well-being, and youth development as a health strategy.

Proposals will be reviewed and scored using the following criteria.
