The PRC is thrilled to announce that Dr. Janet Welsh has been promoted to Research Professor. This is a tribute to the scientific leadership Janet has provided around the development and implementation of universal prevention programs designed to promote youth development across the state and the country. Dr. Welsh has provided PI leadership on many externally-funded projects, working in close partnership with funders and communities to ensure that evidence-based prevention programs are available to those in need and sustained by communities for lasting change and impact. Her tireless effort and translational work helps to ensure that proven prevention programs work in real-world settings for diverse populations, and she remains steadfastly devoted to impacting public well-being in diverse populations.
