Community Engagement & Population Health

The Community Engagement & Population Health (CEPH) Core recognizes the importance of supporting community engagement as fundamental to all translation ressearch and employing frameworks to understand if, how, and why diabetes related health outcomes differ across the individuals and groups within the population. The core offers the following resources:

Educational Opportunities

These include support in identifying and accessing a variety of courses, seminars and trainings related to community engagement and population health science and frameworks.

Consultative Services

We provide help for researchers looking to identify and engage with new community partners. We also provide help for community partners looking to collaborate with academic researchers to design and evaluate policies or practices related to diabetes or its prevention.

Dissemination Activities 

We help support communication networks and processes, including multi-directional sharing of best practices and findings emanating from Chicago CDTR research teams, diabetes translation research networks in other parts of the U.S. and world, as well as conferences, journals and community events.
