Community Partners

Community partners help translate research into practice and improved health outcomes. We recognize the importance of incorporating community insight and collaboration and are committed to strengthening the working relationship between researchers and community stakeholders. The Community Engagement Core can connect you to experts in our Network of Networks and resources you need, often with an introductory email or telephone call. We can even help foster and facilitate the development of long-term partnerships.  Request a referral to get connected.
