The goals of the Community Engagement & Outreach Core are:

• to support communities in identifying their unique priorities for research and then help them share those priorities with investigators, healthcare organizations, and stakeholders
• to build a robust structure supporting engagement between communities and investigators
• to engage investigators in research to reduce health disparities and inequities across communities in our region
• to foster a culture of research that recognizes and welcomes community stakeholders' expertise across the translational research spectrum
