Community Engagement Key Function Committee
The predominant mission of the Community Engagement Key Function Committee is to implement a successful broad plan of community and practice engagement among the CTSA sites by sharing knowledge, expertise and resources. The goal of the CTSA Community Engagement Key Function Committee is to effectively engage communities and practices in the translational research process via bidirectional dialogues. The main areas of focus include: community and practice outreach, access and dissemination of the translational research process via bidirectional dialogues. The specific milestones of the committee include developing a community engagement needs assessment; generating a project registrar with the input of the NIH and other federal agencies, and community practices agencies and members; establishing partnerships for funding collaborative development of curricula and evaluation outcomes as well as metrics for community engaged research.

Committee Announcements
Exciting News about Dr. Milton EderIn 2006, Health and Medicine Policy Research Group (HMPRG) established the HMPRG Awards to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the organization’s founding. The purpose was to recognize leaders and change makers in the areas such as Health, Medicine, Policy, and Research; along with a Group Award presented to an organization for its focus on the determinants of health and its impact beyond the scope of its programs. In 2009, to seed the next generation of public health heroes, we added two new award categories – the Emerging Health Leader and the Young Health Activist, to give recognition to a young health professional thirty and under, and a high schooler age 15-18, committed to social justice, advocacy and activism.
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Eder, Director of Research at Access Community Health has been named the co- recipient of the 2012 HMPRG Research Award. (This year there are two recipients; the other is Dr. Lisa Razzano of UIC.) The Awards Committee had a very difficult job selecting the 2012 winners from the applications submitted for consideration. Dr. Eder is being honored for his cumulative body of work, his current work in translational research and his commitment to making research understandable to the people and communities it is intended to serve.
