Community Engagement in Research - On Research Podcast

On Research - with CITI Program

Join us for a fascinating discussion with Dr. Jeremy Rossman, a researcher of 25 years, virologist, and President of a non-profit aimed at creating lasting and sustainable community development in research worldwide. We take a deep dive into community engagement in research; what it means, the challenges and opportunities, and why it’s so important. Jeremy does a wonderful job of explaining community engagement from all sides, whether you’re the researcher, the community involved in the research, or the funding agency; it really takes all parties involved to work collaboratively towards improving research.
