Join us on October 21-22, as WashU Public Health faculty, students and community partners explore these questions and others at the 2024 Public Health at WashU Annual Conference.
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.
How can we ensure that the latest technological innovations in health care are equitable and accessible to all? How do we develop a public health workforce that reflects the population it serves and addresses needs in an equitable way? Save the date(s), October 21-22, as WashU Public Health faculty, students and community partners explore these questions and others at the 2024 Public Health at WashU Annual Conference, The Next Era of Public Health: Equity-informed approaches to innovative technologies & workforce development.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the crucial role of public health, while simultaneously exposing deep political divides and systemic flaws.

The latest supplement of the Journal of the International AIDS Society, released earlier this month, and co-edited by director of the Center for Dissemination and Implementation, Elvin Geng, MD focuses on the latest advancements and research in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention.
Participants can expect to gain knowledge and skills to address the challenges and complexities of implementing evidence-based interventions in diverse settings. The institute aims to enhance future research endeavors, foster collaborative projects, and contribute to the collective advancement of implementation science.
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.
Offered each spring, and facilitated by the Center for Dissemination and Implementation, the workshop focuses on core definitions, mechanisms, methods and stages of D&I science while convening and connecting like-minded investigators.
The Center for Dissemination and Implementation is pleased to announce pilot funding for two projects that use dissemination and implementation science to advance health outcomes.
The Institute for Public Health is offering two new funding opportunities for partnerships and projects that address the needs of people experiencing severe mental illness and housing insecurity.
“It was a real privilege to see this vibrant network continue to grow” said Elvin Geng, director of WashU’s Center for Dissemination & Implementation. “It’s a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to advancing health care for all.
