TOPIC
Translational science describes how research discoveries are translated from basic science, to clinical practice, to public health benefit. The IIMS Community Engagement Symposium addresses methods for developing and enhancing community-campus partnerships for the translation of research. Our goal this year is to share examples and perceptions of how community-campus partnerships can be used as a strategy to translate research for health equity. Together, patients, families, communities and researchers will learn how they can work together to design, implement and share quality research that has far-reaching effects on important community health outcomes.
AUDIENCE
We invite community members, students, healthcare practitioners, and investigators interested in community-campus reasearch partnerships.
PLENARY SPEAKERS
Values. Voice. Individual differences. Choosing All Together (CHAT) is an interactive serious game that aims to engage ordinary persons in informed, inclusive deliberation about complex and value-laden allocation decisions. The Deliberative Engagement Community in Decisions about Research Spending (DECIDERS) team is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to the improvement of health across the state of Michigan by enabling community members to have a voice in health research decisions and spending priorities.
