On Friday, November 12, 2021, The Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities ( ARCC) hosted its first ever “Virtual Learning Exchange”. The program centered around shared learning on how to build, sustain, and grow community-engaged research and partnerships, with an emphasis on sustainability and community-centered impact. The ARCC team sends a huge thanks all of the community and academic partners who co-facilitated discussion groups, shared insights, and led the Community-Engaged Research 101 Primer. Recording and resource links have been saved for our network to access. We look forward to building upon the many reflections and lessons learned received last Friday. ARCC will be building a stronger resource repository to support health equity work through community-engaged research.
** Please note the 2022 ARCC Seed Grant RFA has been released! Visit bit.ly/ARCCgrants for more information. A virtual Info Session is scheduled for Tuesday, December 7 th. To join us, register here. |

Since 2019, the Chicago Community, Media & Research Partnership has been exploring how trusted community media can effectively share health research with communities most impacted by health inequities. ARCC and Public Narrative have co-led this PCORI-funded collaborative of patient and community stakeholders, community media journalists and oulets, and researchers.

Public Narrative and ARCC have submitted several proposals to further this work, are collaborating on a Community Media 101 training resource to be released in 2022, and are actively advocating to funders and universities to leverage their power to implement supportive changes in resources and policies.

The Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) is excited to deepen their model of shared leadership, welcoming the role expansion for Community Co-Director Shehara Waas to full-time as of October 2021. As we shared back in February of this year, the move to ARCC's current co-leadership structure is a reflection of ARCC’s commitment to the Center for Community Health’s (CCH) principles of engagement and equity, as well as their intentionality around continued transformation.
The planned transition to full-time for the ARCC Co-Director position was made possible through the leadership and support of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) and Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute. We are laying groundwork to more successfully carry out our mission to center the expertise and leadership of communities to increase the value of research for improving health and equity.
