Dear Colleague,
Here are
highlights for Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) in the month
of October. Please join or renew your membership and stay connected to
our events, activities and opportunities for engagement.I recently took a weeklong trip to Alabama and Mississippi, visiting with community and academic partners. While in Jackson, MS, I visited the Jackson Medical Mall which was developed through a partnership between Jackson State University, the University of Mississippi Medical Center and Tougaloo College. This innovative project turned an ailing retail center into a comprehensive healthcare facility that provides healthcare, human services, and economic development to the community. It serves as testament to the power of vision largely attributed to Dr. Aaron Shirley and can best be described as an anchor institution and point of community pride to the residents of Jackson. Tougaloo College, in Tougaloo, AL, is a historic campus on the site of a former plantation and home to the Brown University - Tougaloo College Partnership. The partnership was birthed out of the civil rights movement and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Designed to enrich both campuses through student and faculty academic and cultural exchanges, this cooperative agreement creates a pipeline for Tougaloo graduates to pursue careers in medicine. In addition, the Jackson Heart Study Education and Training Program is located at Tougaloo College and has a stellar history in preparing students for careers in health and science. As we look forward to the 2016 CCPH international conference in New Orleans, we do so with the intent to create a lasting footprint in the region. Stay connected to CCPH as we continue to reach out to expand the impact of our organization with new community-campus partnerships and join us in New Orleans. Only Two Weeks Left before the Call for Proposals for our 14th International Conference Closes! Submit your ideas for workshops, roundtable discussions, posters and other creative story telling sessions by October 15, 2015. We will highlight partnerships and research collaborations of all shapes and sizes at this inclusive and vibrant gathering. Share your knowledge, wisdom and experiences!

Join the conversation using the conference hashtags #CCPH16 and #JourneytoJustice. Comment by December 7th on Proposed Revisions to Regulations that Govern Research on Human Subjects. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says it has proposed changes to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, often referred to as the “Common Rule.” The proposed changes seek to enhance protections for individuals involved in research, while modernizing rules and improving efficiency. We encourage you to submit your thoughts on their proposed rule changes on their website. Registration Now Open for the 2015 Regional Community Partner Forums on Community-Engaged Research in Denver, Minneapolis, and Boston! The Regional Community Partner Forums on Community-Engaged Health Disparities Research are offered as free learning and networking events for community partners who are interested or involved in research as a strategy for health equity. Like the forums that preceded them, the Regional Forums will feature diverse skill-building workshops topics including:
