C3EN Team Member Highlight: Molly Martin
When I started my career, community-based participatory research was new, and my mentors were concerned that my research approach with community partners would not work. But it did! Together with my community partners, we generated useful research results that influenced programs, policies, and lives.
Happy New Year from C3EN!
Happy New Year from the Chicago Chronic Condition Equity Network! As we enter our third year as a center, we celebrate the process of sharing knowledge and working together as a diverse and growing body of researchers and community-based organizations.
