Description
A major challenge for academic researchers is how to translate their work into academic productivity. In community-engaged research (CEnR), there are key strategies that can help you transform this process into important academic outputs such as grant writing, scientific journals, presentations at scientific conferences, networking, and collaboration.
During this session, we will describe best methods for publishing community partnership development work, including community-academic partnership building, formative research, and intervention development.
Due to the high level of interactive training, this series is available as a hands-on, in-person experience only.
