Community and Stakeholder Engagement

Engaging community members and stakeholder organizations as authentic partners in translational health research from conception through dissemination

Working across CTSC institutions, Community and Stakeholder Engagement (CSE) module fosters collaboration and authentic community partnerships with researchers.

CSE resources range from consultations, co-learning experiences, community engagement studios and a growing community/academic network of experts intended to move research along the translational spectrum from idea to funded project and beyond. Consultation services are available for new and established investigators and community partners with an interest in community engaged research in partnership with CTSC institutions across Northeast Ohio.
