Research Agenda

We promote the use of top-quality research to build evidence on policies and practices that promote safe and developmentally appropriate physical activity for children. To this end, we conducted an extensive consultative process to develop a research agenda that will identify studies to promote and ensure healthy weight and healthy levels of physical activity for all youth, with a particular focus on lower-income and racial or ethnic minority youth.

Agenda Setting Process

The PARC team collected and synthesized a large amount of information from diverse stakeholders in key topic areas to inform the research agenda. Learn more about our agenda setting process and how you can contribute to revisions.
