Community Engagement Symposium
Friday December 02, 2022 All Day
Online
The IIMS is pleased to announce that we will host the 2022 Community Engagement Symposium on December 1 and 2, 2022. This free online event is open to community members, healthcare practitioners, researchers, and students! Please see below.
Topic
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.
Plenary Speakers
To be announced soon! Confirmation pending
Goals
Our goals are to showcase current projects within different phases of the translational spectrum for possible future collaborations; (2) to identify methods for engaging the community in all phases of research; and (3) to build the capacity of community members and researchers interested in community-campus partnerships.
