Program
The Office of Community Health is the home in the School of Medicine for informed, committed, and sustained community engagement in local health issues. We are developing an innovative national model to train future leaders in community health, disseminate community health scholarship, and enhance local health via community-academic partnerships. For more information on OCH, please see the following website: http://och.stanford.edu/
Through funding made possible by the School of Medicine's NIH CTSA grant, the OCH is offering funding to encourage community based research through collaborative relationships with community agencies such as community health centers and clinics, schools, county health departments and/or hospital systems or other local nonprofit community based agencies. Community Based Participatory Research has been defined as a “collaborative approach to research that equitably involves all partners in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that each brings. CBPR begins with a research topic of importance to the community with the aim of combining knowledge and action for social change to improve community health and eliminate health disparities.” (W.K. Kellogg Community Scholar's Program, 2001)
The CTSA Seed Grant funding can be used to form new community-based partnerships, enhance existing partnerships or support implementation of a community-based research project with organizations in San Mateo or Santa Clara counties.
