Join the Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative for its third annual Health Equity Challenge Series (HECS). Over 2,000 people nationwide have been a part of one or more of the awareness challenges to grow their health equity knowledge and implement strategies, tactics, and tools at their institutions and organizations to best serve and collaborate with their communities—advancing health equity through research.
Planning Committee
This year's HECS was informed by a voluntary planning committee, with members sourced from: our inaugural CTSC Community Advisory Board, 2024 READI Themed Pilot Awardees, and Community Engaged Research Network. We extend gratitude to the following planning committee members: Gulnar Feerasta, MSSA, MNO (The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland), Jordi Luke, MS (Haus of Transcendent), Nora Nock, PhD (Case Western Reserve University), Sara Powers, PhD (Benjamin Rose), Nora Singer, MD (MetroHealth), and Minzhi Ye, PhD (University of Texas Rio Grande Valley).
Who Should Participate?
Everyone. People from our community at-large, grant partners (i.e., Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System, MetroHealth, University Hospitals, University of Toledo, the Northeast Ohio Medical University), and Clinical and Translational Science Award program hubs nationwide are invited to embark on this journey centered on Trustworthiness.
Timeline
The HECS launches Thursday, September 5, 2024 and concludes Friday, October 25, 2024.
