Community Scientist Program

This project focuses on connecting Community Scientists and Lurie Cancer Center (LCC) scientists to develop more approachable and community-centered research material. During small group meetings between the paired Community Scientists and LCC Basic Scientists, LCC Basic Scientists receive valuable insight from Community Scientists regarding the accessibility of the language with which they explain their work and the applicability and significance of their research to the communities that Community Scientists themselves serve. During these meetings, Community Scientists and LCC Basic Scientists work together to develop concise, accessible, and relevant descriptions of LCC Scientists’ research that could be incorporated into infographics. These infographics will be kept in a library and will be used by both Community Scientists and LCC Basic Scientists for outreach and community engagement efforts in the future.
