Join the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research for Collaborative Café. This Collaborative Café session features a panel of members of two notable Washington University community advisory boards — the Institute for Public Health/Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences Community Advisory Board (CAB) and the Community Research Fellows Training Patient Research Advisory Board (PRAB).
The panel will share information about how researchers can engage with community stakeholder and advisory boards, how to best prepare for meeting with a community advisory board, and what research teams should plan to share as follow up.
Attendees will:
- Meet two WashU advisory groups that support research
- Hear examples of community-academic engagement from experienced community researchers
- Learn how researchers can best prepare for approaching a community advisory board or other group of stakeholders
- Get tips on framing the “ask” of community stakeholders and developing effective discussion questions
- Discuss how researchers should plan to follow up after working with stakeholders and advisory boards
The Collaborative for Community-Centered Conversations — “Collaborative Café” — is hosted by the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research at the Institute for Public Health and Institute of Clinical & Translational Sciences. Collaborative Café offers opportunities for researchers and community partners to network, share experiences, and learn from each other.
