Your input is crucial to help us brainstorm and develop an appropriate and culturally sensitive Community Research Agenda, which will be based on priority areas identified by Healthy Chicago 2025, to make our communities better and healthier. Following the third convening of the community research agenda building initiative, a request from feedback has been circulated.

The UIC Healthy City Collaborative Community Research Council would like to invite you to complete the following surveys. These surveys will help us identify your top 3 priority research questions, which will help inform the roadmap that will be created as a result of the convenings hosted this year on Housing & Food Insecurity/Access.

We would appreciate if you could complete them both by November 19, 2021

We thank you all for informing this work and for your willingness to provide some very valuable insights since we started this work.
One way that the Center for Community Health (CCH) is helping translate research findings into practice more quickly is through Stakeholder-Academic Resource Panels (ShARPs)
 
Upcoming Session Opportunity:

A team from Lurie Children’s Hospital aims to explore ways to promote health equity and improve care for children during hospitalization. They are interested in hearing from families on their recent hospital experience.

They would especially like to hear from families facing one or more of the following:
