The Capacity Building and Systems Change Domain strengthens readiness for researchers and community partners to collaboratively engage in community-centered research, translation, and implementation.
Aims
- Build Capacity
Develop the knowledge, skills, infrastructure, and resources needed for sustainable Duke-community partnerships. - Equip Teams for Collaboration
Provide training, education, and practical tools that prepare researchers and community partners to work together effectively. - Promote Systems Change
Advance systems change to promote meaningful engagement in healthcare and research, ensuring that research insights translate into broader structural impact.
Training and Workshops
The domain provides learning opportunities for communities, academic researchers, and research teams to build skills, develop trusting relationships, and increase knowledge on impactful collaborative research. Training and learning sessions involve considerations based on the core principles of Community Engaged Research for learners to engage in deep discussions on topics relevant to the field. Learners gain knowledge from a myriad of researchers and community collaborators on how to incorporate community-engaged research concepts into practice.
- Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) 101 Training
- CPRN Training Support
- Examples from the Field
Examples from the Field sessions bring community and academic partners together to learn from real-world approaches to community-engaged research. These sessions provide opportunities to build skills, strengthen collaborations, and explore practical strategies for translating research into action. Participants also learn from successful partnership models and best practices that can inform their own community-engaged research efforts. - Symposium
