Webinar
Walk-through the Promising Practices process. Learn how practices are identified and assessed as well as how they are selected and shared.
Promising Practices Initiative
PHIG Promising Practices
Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) recipients have expressed a strong desire to learn from their peers’ successes to inform public health infrastructure improvements. To meet this need, the PHIG National Evaluation Team (NET) has launched the Promising Practices Initiative. This initiative showcases practices that PHIG recipients have successfully implemented so that public health professionals across the country can adapt evidence-based approaches to their work.
Practices at any stage of development or implementation are welcome so that practitioners can learn about novel and emerging practices.
Utilizing Local Recruitment Specialists to Increase Workforce Capacity
Alabama's Recruit & Hire program grew HR page visits by 386% and expanded its workforce by using local recruiters and data-driven social media recruitment.

Promising Practices
Self-Submit
a Practice
The NET invites PHIG recipients to self-submit a practice.
Nominate
a Practice
Do you know a health department doing great work under PHIG? Nominate their practice for consideration.
We will also be identifying potential Promising Practices from existing data (e.g., Targeted Evaluation Plans (TEPs)). We may reach out to recipients to provide more information on their practices.
What is a Promising Practice?
A Promising Practice refers to an action taken by a PHIG recipient and made possible through PHIG funding or support (directly or indirectly). This action demonstrates evidence of positive change through interventions, activities, programs, strategies, policies, procedures, or processes. As we review submissions, we will look for practices that:
- Produce measurable, desirable results related to the objectives
- Have high potential for replication in other settings
- Involve relevant interest holders in decision-making
- Are ethically sound
- Are accessible and evenly distributed to those it is meant to impact
How Will Promising Practices Be Used or Shared?
Our goal is to showcase Promising Practices that PHIG recipients have implemented so that public health professionals across the country can adopt similar evidence-based approaches to their work. The PHIG Partner website will feature selected practices. We may also highlight these practices through email newsletters, webinars, and other forms of communication.
Why Should I Submit a Practice?
By submitting a practice, you can share strategies that have demonstrated evidence of what has worked well for you or your organization with other PHIG recipients and public health professionals across the country. This way, other professionals can learn from your experience and adapt similar evidence-based approaches to improve public health infrastructure in their own context.
