The Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR)
Best Practices & Innovations in Inclusive
Participation in Research
CEACR
CCPH partners with the University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) to support the NIH Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR), pronounced “seeker.”
The goal of CEACR is to advance inclusive participation in research by delivering training, technical assistance, and expert guidance in community engagement principles and practices to NIH-funded research teams. CEACR will uplift assets, tools, and resources developed by the CEAL Alliance to promote principles of trustworthiness and research reciprocity.

Visit the CEACR website for information on how to request a consultation or join an expert panel.
