WVCTSI Community Engagement and Outreach

Overview of Services

As part of the WVCTSI, the Community Engagement and Outreach (CEO) Program eliminates the "disconnect" between our state's health disparities and the assets available to address those disparities. It serves as “the go to place” for conducting, and rapidly translating community-relevant research to improve the health and well-being of WV and beyond. The Program underscores the significance of interactions among community members, healthcare providers, and researchers, and provides a single organizational structure for all constituents to access for guidance, support, and technical assistance for community engaged research.

The West Virginia Practice-Based Research Network (WVPBRN), part of the Community Engagement and Outreach Core of the WVCTSI, is the first-ever practice-based research network in the state. The mission of the WVPBRN is to improve the health of West Virginians by collaborating with primary care practices to conduct translational practiced-based research. While a developing network, the WVPBRN has already become a multi-site, multi-county entity which is well-positioned to have a significant, positive impact on priority health disparities.
