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.

New Toolkits from the Community Engagement Consultative Resource (CEACR)

As part of the CEACR project, CCPH and our partners at University of Pittsburgh CTSI have published 3 new toolkits to support community-engaged research. CEACR’s toolkits offer expert guidance to help improve research participants’ experiences when you conduct studies. The toolkits provide recommendations to promote participant appreciation, trustworthiness and reciprocity, and equitable compensation. Download all three and share with your community-engaged research networks.

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