Dear Researchers

Welcome to the Web portal for the Community Engagement and Research Core (CERC) of the UIC Center for Clinical Translational Science.We are one of the six cores within Center for Clinical and Translational Science.

Build new and augment established collaborative research partnerships among UIC investigators, health services collaborators and community partners to create an expanded community-centered research agenda.

Community-Centered, Culturally Competent Research

Expand culturally competent, community-centered research by being an access point for:

(a) bidirectional (investigator-community) training
(b) dialogues to forge novel avenues for science
(c) research data and resources information
(d) support the recruitment and retention of individuals from underserved populations into studies.

Dissemination and Policy Change

Optimize dissemination of emerging research findings and promote their translation into effective community programs and policies.
