Community Engagement/Outreach Core

共同主任PonJola Coney，MD和Marcie Wright，PhD，MPH，以及共同研究员Cathy霍华德博士将与研究和研究培训核心，社区参与的VCU办公室和健康差异中心合作，更有效地利用社区外展核心资源，以实现社区参与和外展核心（CEOC）的目标和目的。通过卓越的前中心（COE）的外展活动，我们已经建立了良好的工作关系，与公共住房居民，公共机构，包括卫生，社区卫生中心，公立学校，信仰社区和邻里组织的弗吉尼亚部。透过这项建议，我们计划扩大和加强资源的发放，以及社区伙伴参与院校研究和研究培训活动，并创造协同机会，以应付社会的健康需要。

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.
