Overview

Dr. Mays shared Community Networks and Population Health: What We Know and Still Need to Learn with the Partners for the Advancement of Community Engaged Research (PACER) and participated in a lengthy discussion period with the participants at the conclusion of his presentation.

PACER was established when the Key Function Committees were disbanded and Community Engagement Key Function Committee participants decided to continue working together under the rubric of the Association of Clinical and Translational Science.  PACER brings together community and academic researchers to explore topics and issues important to building community-academic research partnerships and to improve public health through research.  PACER meetings provide dissemination opportunities about community engaged research, metrics, and evaluation as well as a foundation for networking and collaboration among individuals and groups variously engaged in clinical and translational research.
