Consultation services for academic researchers and study team members regarding ethical issues that arise in preparation for and/or in the process of doing research with and in community. Community Engagement Consults address research across the translational research spectrum (T1-T4 research) that addresses any/all stages of the research process.
Consultation sessions are led by the Partnership for Academicians and Communities in Translation (PACT) Community Engagement Consults Committee – which is a community/university partnership. During your consultation you will meet with relevant community and/or academic experts comprised of members from the PACT. Additional content experts may be invited to support the relevance of the session to the needs of the investigator.
Please note: These consultations should not be solely focused on immediate recruitment. The intention of this service is not to supply direct contacts or conduct recruitment on your behalf. Instead, this service is to talk through high level community engagement strategies, help craft a community engagement plan, or talk through issues unrelated to recruitment.

The CCTSI Community Engagement and Health Equity Core and the ACCORDS Education Program are partnering to offer a forum for investigators and study teams conducting community/stakeholder-engaged research. The Community Engagement Forum will run quarterly and include brief seminars from leading engagement scholars and community research partners. Additionally, this will serve as a learning community for sharing best practices and lessons learned. The forum will be geared towards supporting investigators and study teams throughout design, conduct and dissemination of engaged research. For all future forum dates, please visit our Events page.
