CERC Fellows

Fellows learn the importance of engaging the community in research

The Community-Engaged Research Core Faculty Fellowship Program matches a researcher with a mentor and protects work time for research — essential for a busy clinician helping patients or an educator teaching students. Community-engaged research meets the needs of the community by involving those who have an interest in improving health.
