Community Outreach

Fostering community-academic partnerships


The goal of the Partnership Community Outreach Core is to integrate community engagement principles into all of CREATE Partnership activities.

The Outreach Core aims to:

  • Advance cancer health equity by facilitating and supporting research relevant to catchment area priorities, including but not limited to Partnership-sponsored research projects
  • Provide support to community health centers (CHCs) for screening, early detection, linkage to care and referral pathways
  • Foster community engagement by 1) conducting needs assessments, 2) disseminating evidence-based practices and resources, and 3) implementing educational and outreach activities
  • Contribute to the Partnership’s educational mission by providing educational opportunities to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students, and early-stage investigators in areas of community-engaged research and cancer disparities
