2nd National Community Partner Forum Seeks to Advance Health Research Equity & Action Agenda, Dec 5-7 in Washington DC

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Dear SCRA colleagues,

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health and the Center for Community Health
Education Research and Service are pleased to announce we have been
awarded funding from the National Institutes of Health for the 2nd National
Community Partner Forum on Community-Engaged Health Disparities Research, to
be held Dec. 5-7, 2012 in Washington DC. The forum seeks to advance
community-engaged research as a tool for eliminating health disparities by:

1. Deepening the knowledge and skills needed by community partners to
successfully conduct community-engaged research, negotiate
community-academic research partnerships and serve in national leadership
roles;
2. Disseminating the innovative work of community partners that others can
learn from and build upon;
3. Engaging in constructive dialogue between community partners and key
stakeholders in academic, government and philanthropic sectors to foster
mutual understanding and supportive action; and
4. Growing and deepening a national network of community partners that
facilitates ongoing professional development and has a significant voice in
decisions about research practice and policy.

Please see the attachment for more information.

National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development, and
the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The views expressed
