CTSI Community Engaged Research Initiative (CERI)

The Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Community Engaged Research Initiative (CERI) e-Library leverages existing local, regional, and national resources around community engagement and community-engaged research (CEnR).  The following guides equip both community-based organizations (CBOs) and researchers with training, videos, and other capacity-building tools for researchers and community partners to equitably and fully engage in CEnR. Through CEnR, CBOs, and universities can form mutually beneficial, equitable, robust, and collaborative partnerships to change and improve community and population health.
