Community leadership and expertise are central to everything the Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) does. When we or others at Northwestern or in the research enterprise are making plans or decisions about or teaching/presenting about community research, your community lived expertise is crucial. We also know that you are busy & focused on your own missions and work most directly serving your communities. 

If you or someone you know is interested in community leadership and teaching opportunities, we would love to know how to best compensate and support your efforts and contributions.

Share any input you have on this through this form by May 13th for a chance to win one of 3 $25 gift cards. 
Three Center for Community Health (CCH) faculty—Mike Fagen, Marquita Lewis-Thames, and Darius Tandon—are working on a project that is attempting to develop a list of core competencies for those conducting community-engaged research. We are interested in generating this list of competencies so that the education and training efforts that we provide through the Center for Community Health can be more competency-based.
 
To help develop these competencies, we are planning to use a method called Nominal Group Technique in which we will conduct group discussions with a) faculty, b) research staff, and c) community stakeholders who are all conducting community-engaged research. These group discussions will lead to the identification and prioritization of a set of community-engaged competences relevant to each of these three groups.
 
We are seeking a part-time Research Assistant to work alongside us in developing and conducting the group conversations. We anticipate this will be a short-term position for about 6-9 months with the Research Assistant putting in about 5-8 hours per week. If interested, please email Darius Tandon at dtandon@northwestern.edu.
