Capacity Building with Partners
Our Community Engagement Program offers courses, workshops, and seminars to community members and researchers to build capacity for community-engaged research.
Communities Connecting to Research (CCR)
The self-paced online module training introduces community members to the basics of community-engaged research (CEnR). The online module is inspired by the PCORI-funded Connecting Communities to Research toolkit co-developed by BU faculty and community partners. The CCR course is facilitated by Linda Sprague Martinez and Deborah Chassler. To access the CCR module, please visit https://thenetwork.bu.edu/offering/connecting-communities-to-research/.
Communicating to Engage (CtE) Workshops
The 3-hour (1-hour self-paced, 2-hours Zoom) is offered to community members and researchers to promote self-reflection to identify implicit bias, power structures in relationships, and strategies to improve communication with people representing diverse groups. The workshop is offered throughout the year. To request a CtE Workshop for your group, please contact the BU CTSI CE Program
