The Office of Minority Health is filled with information.  

• Minority population profiles
• Capacity assistance
• Weekly and monthly compilations of resources, training, and funding
• Datasets
• The population profiles are great one-page sources of information
• They have an extremely friendly Knowledge Center with staff who actually answer the phone, so if you are looking for something specific, call or email them.

Child Trends is a not-for-profit that has great databanks by topic.  Click on the Research tab to search by topic  or to view data by state.  The Databank contains data sorted by life stage:  pregnancy, birth, infancy, childhood, adolescence, etc. The What Works tab contains a searchable database of over 700 evaluated programs serving children and youth, and research based on those evaluations

The CDC Community Navigator contains resources in 4 different action areas.  You can click on different target areas (like target risk factors -- obesity, for example), for population and area, and then find evidence-based interventions.
