What is the purpose?

Creating an exchange between the community and clinical research is paramount to the success of the Community Engagement program (CE). Each year, experts from academia, non-profits, foundations, and other community partners come together for the CE Community Forum. This space provides participants with the tools necessary to develop and sustain successful and mutually-beneficial community-university partnerships to increase public health in Atlanta and beyond.

What will be discussed?

This forum hosts an array of experts in varying areas of expertise on a panel to directly engage with participants.

The Third Annual Community Engagement program (CE) Forum will provide participants with the tools necessary to develop and sustain successful and mutually beneficial community-university translational research partnerships to improve population health in metro Atlanta and beyond.
