The Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core helps with the process of turning important issues and research ideas into high-quality research projects and, eventually, conveying the results of those studies back to the community as a whole.
Whenever there is a concern or an idea for a new research project, this core convenes a group of people representing both the community and the scientific team to advise the study at various points throughout its life. The core connects the study team to resources across the CHARMED Center to assemble a research plan and conduct the study in the most thoughtful way — both scientifically, and with regard to being representative of the community's needs and concerns.
When the study is complete, the core connects the team to the resources needed to make sure results are shared so that they have maximum impact on the health of people in that community.
How can the IHSFC support communities?
We believe the IHSFC helps ensure that when you share your ideas and concerns with the CHARMED Center, the resulting research projects are not only true to those ideas and concerns, but also provide robust and actionable information that can impact community and stakeholder perspectives and outcomes.
