Community Engaged Research Forum
It is the Center's vision to lead innovative, community-connected urban research and education and community engagement is the cornerstone to achieving this. The Center realizes that in order to move research to policy and practice it is essential for both community and academia to partner in the planning, implementation and evaluation phases of research. The Center also seeks to identify ways to remove barriers to research use and promote interaction among producers and users of research. To this end, on November 2, 2009, a developing network of community-engaged health research academic institutions in the Milwaukee area; along with a community partner and the Milwaukee Health Department, jointly co-sponsored a community health research forum: Making Connections to Make a Difference.
