Mission Statement

NDRI-USA’s mission is to build relationships and bridge the gap between research and practice in the public health arena to ensure the advancement of state-of-the-art techniques, evidence- based and promising practices, and supports for non-physician health and human services providers and other practitioners. This is accomplished by fostering relationships at the federal, state, local, international, philanthropic and private sector levels, with the goal of reducing health and social disparities by creating sustainable change through curriculum development, learning interventions targeted to health and human services providers, training-of-trainers, technical assistance and capacity building, as well as needs assessment, research and evaluation.
