Community Engagement

IN THIS SECTION

Our mission is to improve the health of Indiana residents through community-university partnerships.

Engaging Patients, Participants & Communities

Community Health Partnerships is the community engagement arm of the Indiana CTSI. We support teams of community and university partners working together to improve health and bring science to life across Indiana.

To fulfill our mission, we view our work through these lenses:

Health

We improve health by solving problems together where we live, work, learn, and play.

Partnerships

We create and support teams of community and university partners working together for mutual benefit and growth by combining their unique strengths, attributes, and resources to improve health for the people of Indiana.

Bringing Science to Life

Our partnerships generate new knowledge and use the best evidence to create visionary solutions to improve health.

Our values are impact, trust, respect, mutual benefit, and creativity.
