Community Engagement (CE) is critical to increase the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of clinical and translational research.

The Community Engagement core through the Partnership of Academicians and Communities for Translation (PACT) aims to:

  • Facilitate Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
  • Educate and connect investigators and communities
  • Develop programs to improve relationships and build trust between academics and communities
  • Build capacity in community-academic partnerships
  • Provide funds for community engagement and research

Our Mission
