Community and Stakeholder Engagement Research 

Effective translation of discoveries to the population demands a broad-based connection between our communities and our clinical and translational research enterprise. Our programs aim to further build research capacity among community partners and our researchers, as well as to develop and evaluate novel ways to conduct bidirectional research.
