Description: Community engagement in research enhances the overall effectiveness and impact of biomedical and behavioral research efforts, providing mutually beneficial outcomes for researchers, patients, and communities involved. Geared toward NIH extramural and intramural research program and outreach staff, this session will introduce participants to five core principles of community-engaged research through presentations emphasizing methodology, theoretical frameworks, and evaluation techniques used in effective community engagement approaches. Presenters will also discuss communication and facilitation skills used to develop connections and build relationships with communities. Dr. Raynard Kington will make the opening remarks for the session, which was inspired by comments from the NIH Director's Council of Public Representatives.

The forum is inspired by the NIH Director’s Council of Public Representatives (COPR) recommendations on community-engaged research and geared toward NIH extramural and intramural research, program, and outreach staff. Dr. Raynard Kington, NIH Principal Deputy Director will give opening remarks. The agenda also includes an overview of community-engaged research, presentation of COPR recommendations, case studies of best practices and practical application of principles referenced in the COPR recommendations, and an open panel discussion.
