Improving research through engagement. Improving engagement through research.
The Community and Stakeholder Research Engagement Program (C&SE) works to improve community and population health through promoting and facilitating community-relevant and engaged research. The program provides services to support and facilitate collaboration among community members, representatives of community organizations, providers, investigators and research teams. Support includes: consultations, translation services, early-career fellowships, funding, science outreach, and letter of support.
To create a healthier, more collaborative society where all communities actively participate in and benefit from clinical and translational research.
Our mission is to engage multiple community stakeholders in collaborative research efforts that address health gaps, foster partnership, and build trust between academic institutions, healthcare providers, and communities.
- Trust: Establishing and maintaining trust with communities through transparent and authentic relationships.
- Partnership: Actively partnering with communities in all stages of research.
- Collaboration: Building strong partnerships with stakeholders from our communities.
- Availability: Promoting access to research and healthcare for all populations.
- Innovation: Developing creative and impactful solutions to address health gaps.
- Objective 1: Strengthen the research infrastructure for community and stakeholder research engagement (C&SE) to ensure sustained collaboration and partnership.
- Objective 2: Amplifying the voice and expertise of communities in research as advisors, collaborators, partners, leaders and participants to promote research engagement that best represent the communities we serve.
- Objective 3: Build lasting trust and trustworthiness by creating a bi-directional flow of knowledge between communities and researchers.
