Just Research is a new program for researchers and research staff to learn skills to promote research equity and diversity in study participation. Created from a decade of experience with community engagement, inclusive research practices, and the Building Trust initiative, Just Research is a partnership between the Collaborative Center for Health Equity (CCHE) and the Milwaukee-based Center for Community Engagement and Health Partnerships (CCE).

Just Research Workshops
Just Research workshops cover challenging topics such as the role of bias in research participation, principles of healthy community engagement, and effective communication within teams and in community.
Next Workshop:

Space is limited. We ask that you register only if you have cleared the full day.
Description: This full-day learning opportunity for health science investigators, research staff, and other interested members of the health equity community boosts self-efficacy in recruitment and retention of historically marginalized research participants. In this highly interactive session, participants investigate personal, group, and systemic aspects of bias, explore practical bias reduction strategies, learn from diverse experts regarding authentic community engagement, and practice, grapple, make mistakes, and grow. Group size is limited to facilitate maximum engagement.
