At the September 15, 2022 Feinberg School of Medicine Research Day, the Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) Annual Award was presented to Demoiselle 2 Femme for "Partnership for a Better Roseland Choose Life Project" and Apostolic Faith Church for "Building Bridges to Connect Faith to Community Health". This year’s award honors these partnerships and the legacy of the late Dr. Virginia Bishop, who passed away in February 2020. Bishop co-founded ARCC and served as ARCC’s co-director from 2007 – 2010.

The Partnership for a Better Roseland consisted of 9 local community organizations engaged in a community-based participatory research study to examine and address school-related violence as a health priority among Greater Roseland youth ages 14-18. Building Bridges to Connect Faith to Community Health was a partnership with the Apostolic Faith Church located in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood.
