ARCC is happy to lift up the recent success of several of our partners and grantee. If you have something to share too, let us know at ARCC@northwestern.edu


In the 3rd year of the Northwestern Racial Equity and Community Partnership grants program, more than $550,000 was granted to 13 local beneficiaries to fuel projects based in Evanston and Chicago that focus on health equity, children’s learning and social or economic empowerment. Five of the projects include ARCC partners:


 New Seed Grantee Holistic Birth Collective was featured in this Crain's story about Black maternal health.


ARCC Seed Grantees Robert Simmons (Oak Park Library) and Ashley Knapp (NU Psychiatry & ARCC Steering Committee Academic Chair) had their first publication on their partnership: “The library is so much more than books”: considerations for the design and implementation of teen digital mental health services in public libraries.

 ARCC grantee Black Researchers Collective Community Workshop Intensive: Summer Series seeks to engage five of Chicago’s southside communities (Bronzeville, South Chicago, South Shore, Washington Park, and Woodlawn) in an immersive learning experience.

Please join ARCC Community Partner, Sherida Morrison, and ARCC Co-Director, Jen Brown, as part of the Northwestern University's Institutional Review Board (IRB) Office monthly virtual brown bag series for a presentation on community-engaged research and how Northwestern University considers the varied expertise of academics and communities to improve the relevance, design and impact of research. This discussion will push beyond rules and regulations to interrogate the nature and design of our human research conduct.
