Topic: Deep Roots, Resilient Voices, and Collective Action through Community-Academic Partnerships in Health Research

Scientific translation describes the process of taking research discoveries from basic lab science, to clinical practice, and into community interventions for public health benefit.

Community engagement is important for the translation of research findings. Not only is it important for identifying priority health topics for the community, but it is vital for increasing the reach, effectiveness, and adoption of findings.

This symposium will address how community-campus partnerships (between a community group and researchers) can build trust and work together to successfully conduct health research that matters to the community.


Goals

Our goal is to engage the community, faculty, and students in conversations about health research, building capacity for community-campus partnerships, showcasing current projects, and fostering future collaborations.

To achieve this, the CE Symposium will support the following aims:

  1. Providing platforms and resources for sharing diverse community perspectives, experiences, and priorities.
  2. Fostering trust building, leading with cultural humility, and facilitating active community participation for sustainable and meaningful partnerships.
  3. Prioritizing equity and inclusivity to ensure that all partners have an equal voice in decision making processes.
  4. Sharing information and disseminating findings for empowering communities.

Audience

Community members, students, healthcare practitioners, and researchers interested in community-campus partnerships for health research


Plenary Speaking Team - TBD
