Community Engagement/Outreach Core

联席主任PonJola Coney，医学博士和Marcie Wright，博士，公共卫生硕士，以及共同调查员Cathy Howard，博士将与研究和研究培训中心、VCU社区参与办公室和健康差距中心合作，更有效地使用社区推广核心资源，以实现社区参与和推广核心(CEOC)的目标和目的。通过以前的卓越中心(COE)的外展活动，我们与公共住房居民、公共机构，包括弗吉尼亚州卫生部、社区卫生中心、公立学校、信仰社区和社区组织建立了良好的工作关系。通过这项建议的努力，我们计划扩大和加强资源的传播和社区合作伙伴对院校研究和研究培训活动的参与，并创造协同作用的机会，以满足社区的卫生需求。

Co-directors PonJola Coney, MD and Marcie Wright, PhD, MPH, and co-investigator Cathy Howard, PhD will work in partnership with the research and research training cores, the VCU Office of Community Engagement and the Center on Health Disparities to use community outreach core resources more efficiently and effectively to achieve the goals and objectives of the Community Engagement and Outreach Core (CEOC). Through the outreach activities of the previous Center of Excellence (COE), we have established excellent working relationships with public housing residents, public agencies, including the Virginia Department of Health, community health centers, public schools, the faith community, and neighborhood organizations. Through efforts of this proposal, we plan to expand and enhance dissemination of resources and participation of community partners in institutional research and research training activities, and create synergistic opportunities to address health needs of the community.
