As part of FHI 360’s United States Programs, the Social Marketing and Communication (SMC) department has distinctive competence in a science-based approach to social marketing and communication to address public health and other challenges in the U.S. SMC currently implements a diverse portfolio of social marketing, public relations, communication, and training and technical assistance projects in the U.S. that are funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, private associations, and foundations. In the past decade, our team has worked on issues such as obesity prevention, sexual health, cancer, asthma, diabetes, immunizations, violence prevention, access to health care, energy efficiency, pollution prevention, educational equity, workplace safety, and tobacco control and cessation.

FHI 360 supports the Collaborative by conducting strategic planning, communications, coordination, and evaluation activities. For more information, visit: www.nccor.org.
