The Professional Development Partnership (PDP) is a project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—Division of Adolescent and School Health (CDC DASH) and is managed by Rocky Mountain Center for Health Promotion and Education (RMC) . The purpose of the PDP is to assist CDC DASH-funded local, state and national non-governmental organizations (SEAs, LEAs, NGOs) in strengthening their capacity to provide professional development that will enhance the delivery of education for reducing risk behaviors among youth. For more information see the PDP Project Overview.
