systems and organizations. Major emphasis is placed on translating evidence into policy

delivery, administration, education, and advocacy.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including
Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge development and dissemination, (3)
supporting a community of learners, and (4) collaboration and partnerships with diverse
groups.
These approaches entail the provision of training, technical assistance, and consultation
