Register below to receive Zoom link.
Description
This presentation will provide an introduction to best practices and share ITHS-supported resources for partnering with diverse communities in clinical and translational research. We will discuss benefits and drawbacks to different levels of community engagement so that attendees can learn how to tailor engagement to their research.
Pre-Work
Do you have a project or an idea that might benefit from a deeper discussion of the role of community engagement? Would you like to learn about which ITHS community network might be the best fit for a project you are considering?
Or do you have another question you’d like to discuss related to engaging communities in basic science, clinical, or translational research?
This CDS session will include a 30-minute “office hours,” offering an opportunity for a couple of investigators to bring their project or idea, need for an ITHS community partner, or a more general question for deeper discussion after the main presentation.
If you would like to bring your topic to “office hours,” please contact Aric Lane by October 28th at ariclane@uw.edu.
