TraCS + Lineberger to host Engagement in Research 101 event during Carolina Engagement Week
Carolina Engagement Week is a celebration of UNC-Chapel Hill's engagement with the state of North Carolina. Engagement Week 2025 begins Monday, February 24 with over 40 events already scheduled. Explore the many ways Carolina is involved in engaged teaching, research, and service through community partnerships among state and community leaders and Carolina faculty, staff, and students.
Sign up for the TraCS/Lineberger hosted event: Engagement in Research 101: Introduction to Engaging Patient & Community Partners in Research.
In this training, we use engaging, interactive methods to provide an overview of engagement in research, highlighting that engagement is not "all or nothing" or "one-size-fits-all", but instead encompasses a wide variety of low touch to high touch approaches that could be right for your study. The session will cover common myths/misconceptions about engagement in research, benefits of and key considerations for engaging patient and community partners in research, and initial steps/existing resources attendees can leverage to begin engaging partners in research. We will use interactive polls, "chat storms," and breakout rooms to make the session interactive.
Events are are free and open to the public, but registration is required.
