Established in 2014, the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center (NYU-CUNY PRC) implements, evaluates, and disseminates community-clinical linkage interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease disparities in ethnically diverse NYC communities. The Center emphasizes collaborative research with multi-sector stakeholders and translation of research findings into sustainable and scalable policies and programs.  

The NYU-CUNY PRC's core research focuses on community health workers who bridge the gap between underserved communities and clinical care, and includes:
