ABOUT COMMUNITY & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

The goals of Community & Stakeholder Engagement are to improve relationships between academic researchers and community members; to engage community physicians in research and translation of evidence-based practice; and to train researchers in community-engaged research, and educate community members in order to build capacity and an understanding of the benefits and risks of research involvement. Community & Stakeholder Engagement seeks to broaden and strengthen collaborations between the Academic Health Center (AHC) and the community to produce research initiated with, supported by, carried out through, and benefiting the community. For questions about Community & Stakeholder Engagement, please email: ctsa@cchmc.org
