Pathways to Prevention (P2P) Workshops

The P2P program uses a structured process to identify research gaps in a scientific area of broad public health importance. The program centers around workshops on prevention topics with limited or underdeveloped research and a need for a critical assessment of the evidence.

The P2P program brings together federal agencies, researchers, and community members to:

  • Synthesize the evidence and better understand the current state of the science
  • Identify methodological and scientific weaknesses and gaps and suggest a research agenda
  • Develop an action plan to move the field forward

P2P workshops lead to:

  • Funding opportunities to address important questions
  • Improvements in data resources and methodologies
  • New collaborative prevention research projects

You can use P2P workshop publications—like the systematic evidence review, independent panel report with recommendations for future research, and federal partners meeting report—to help fill research gaps.

The P2P program employs a structured process that takes approximately 2 to 3 years to complete. ODP provides leadership, support, funding, and coordination for the program. Partners from across NIH, other federal agencies, content-area experts, and community members help plan each workshop.
