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)

These gatherings are meant to improve the way research is conducted, increase meaningful community engagement in research, and grow collaborations between groups of people and research teams. On that day, the research team presents a 20-minute summary of their study, and participants engage in a group discussion led by neutral organizers. The Center for Community Health (CCH) provides a universal visa e-gift card to participants.
