Abacus Evaluation: Building Effective Community-Academic Partnerships

Building Effective Community-Academic Partnerships: Lessons from Project GRACE

This interactive webinar explores how meaningful partnerships between academic institutions and community organizations can strengthen community health initiatives. Drawing on lessons from Project GRACE, a community-academic partnership with more than 20 years of experience in eastern North Carolina, presenters will share practical strategies for community engagement, relationship building, shared decision-making, and sustainable collaboration. Participants will gain a better understanding of community-engaged and participatory research approaches and leave with actionable ideas for applying these principles in their own work.

Presenters include Mysha Wynn, Erika Redding and Mary McKinley.
