Community Research Core

The Community Research (CR) Core has four specific aims. The CR Core:
  1. Informs CIRA scientists about community research priorities, community members who have expertise in HIV/AIDS and other related fields, and current scholarship on the design, methods, and theories of community-based research (CBR).
  2. Establishes a "continuum of collaboration" to help strengthen potential community research partnerships.
  3. Ensures that research findings are accessible and user-friendly to the community, and provides forums in which local communities may respond to these findings.
  4. Develops a local model and guidelines for community-based research (CBR), and assists researchers in their use.
Core Director: Margaret R. Weeks, Ph.D.
Assistant Director: Leif Mitchell, B.A.
Core Investigator(s): Kari Hartwig Dr. P.H., M.A., Kaveh Khoshnood, Ph.D., Linda Niccolai, Ph.D.
