EM2208C "Fit for Purpose – Stakeholder Engagement in Health Research" (CTSA GR 232-041922)

UT Southwestern CTSA Program Community Engagement Grand Rounds Online

Purpose and Content

A tension between the “push” of research and the “pull” of community need prevents rapid translation of evidence into practice. Historically, academic institutions have perpetuated an approach that pushes out research results without adequate attention to community needs, i.e., the pull model (1, 2). In contrast, building on a long history of collaboration with key health systems like the Dallas County safety-net Parkland Health and Hospital Systems, UT Southwestern’s CTSA-funded Office of Community Health and Research Engagement strives to strike a balance between the “push” and the “pull” by ensuring bidirectional exchange of ideas, needs and expertise between community stakeholders and academic researchers. To foster patient-centered clinical and translational research, investigators need to understand how to identify community needs and priorities by using evidence-based approaches and best practices to optimize community stakeholder engagement at multiple levels.

Target Audience

Physicians (MD and DO); Non-Physicians (PA, APN, Psy, RN); PhD level researchers. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to: 

  • Align models for conducting community and stakeholder engaged research with the workflows and demands of all types of biomedical science 

  • Understand why dominant engagement models from the community research literature may be too inflexible for other types of research such as basic science, clinical outcomes, policy and public health research 

  • Identify who are stakeholders in research 

  • Gain knowledge about how to plan purpose-driven engagement to improve research and how to evaluate it
