First WUNDIR Café of the semester kicks off at Session Taco

WashU students, faculty, and staff came together to enjoy happy hour tacos over conversations about their research, goals, and interests.
The Center for Dissemination and Implementation announces the launch of a new Midwest Developmental Center for AIDS Research (D-CFAR) in Missouri, which brings together researchers from across the translational spectrum to address the HIV epidemic.
What do members of our community think about the way faculty and researchers engage with research participants and partners? How can the researchers forge genuine partnerships throughout the community and the region that can help create greater trust and ultimately, equity? Beginning October 4, the Center for Community Health Partnership and Research presents a three-part Collaborative Café series on equitable community-academic partnerships, but this time, there’s a twist.
Collaborating with public health departments and other agencies to deliver training in evidence-based public health can offset the effects of high staff turnover, strengthen academic-practice relationships, and promote population-wide health and health equity, found a new study led by Stephanie Mazzucca-Ragan, assistant professor at the Brown School.
The center aims to support HIV research at all levels, from laboratory experiments to community program pilots. To ensure that research funded by the center will answer the questions most critical to public health efforts and to people living with HIV, projects will be selected by a committee composed of people from academic and nonacademic organizations.
Through its Pitch Partners² funding mechanism, and Community Partnership Support Funding program, the Center for Community Health Partnership and Research is pleased to announce seed funding for two community-academic partnerships that center on achieving racial equity.
If you hear a presentation by Professor of Medicine, Juliet Iwelunmor, PhD, from the Division of Infectious Disease at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, you immediately sense that she is passionate, well spoken, driven and committed to work that drives impact.
