The Community Engagement Core is the communication channel for the exchange of ideas between researchers and community partners in the Chicago region.
The goals of the Community Engagement Core are:
- To establish a Community Stakeholder Advisory Council to support and expand working relationships among C3EN investigators and community stakeholders such as: community-based health care providers, community-and faith-based organizations and public health departments.
- To develop a community-based research network structured around C3EN investigators and community stakeholders that will establish priorities for community-based research topics and facilitate partnerships between community stakeholders and early stage health researchers.
- To develop a process and platform for the dissemination of actionable research results from C3EN projects to network members and the Chicago region.
