Connecting Community to Research: A Training Program to Increase Community Engagement in Research.

CONCLUSIONS: Over 1 year, we trained 100 community members and almost all participants felt that the objectives of the training program were met and the information was relevant. More than 50% of the participants took advantage of partnership opportunities with local researchers. A toolkit was designed and disseminated to support others to replicate the program. We demonstrated that an interactive training curriculum designed with a community-engaged pedagogy and supported by opportunities for engagement has the ability to successfully partner community members with academic researchers.
