The Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource
The Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR) serves as a channel for community-engaged best practices to NIH-funded research teams wanting to apply principles of community-engaged approaches to address health disparities and ensure inclusion in research programs. Through a partnership between the University of Pittsburgh and Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, CEACR has held more than 30 personalized consultations ranging in focus from equitable partner compensation to cultural appropriateness of public-facing study recruitment materials. Over 300 people across the country have joined CEACR webinars, which bring together experts from academic, clinical, and community-based settings to lead discussions focused on inclusive participation in research.
CEACR Services
CEACR provides curated expert consultations to NIH-funded research teams seeking to apply principles of community engagement to address diversifying research participation.
Each CEACR consult is supported by a panel of experts assembled based on the consultee’s specific or distinct requirements and goals. The panel of experts often comes from the very communities researchers are trying to reach. CEACR evaluates the consult process by performing regular check-ins with consultees to determine if the consultation was beneficial and helped achieve the consultee’s goals .
Requests for CEACR consult services can be made using the CEACR Consult Request Form.
