About

Just Research is a program for researchers and research staff to learn skills to promote research equity and diversity in study participation. It was created by Gina Green-Harris, Center for Community Engagement and Health Partnerships (CCE) and Susan Passmore, School of Nursing and Collaborative Center for Health Equity (CCHE) based on their experience with community engagement, inclusive research practices, and the Building Trust initiative.

Just Research is based on a survey of the needs of UW investigators and research staff completed in 2020 and Green-Harris’s experience with asset-based community-based models. Its foundational workshop is informed by advances in the science of diversity education.  

Just Research Workshops

Just Research workshops are designed for investigators, research staff, or anyone interested in inclusive research and engagement. These workshops are generally held in person for a full day, from 8:30-4:30. 

Just Research Seminars

Just Research seminars provide additional opportunities for investigators, staff, and students to learn from others working to improve diversity and inclusion in research. These seminars are 60-minutes and held through a virtual platform.

Testimonials

Just Research is a new program for researchers and research staff to learn skills that promote research equity and diversity in study participation. This workshop dwells in the public health space, but the principles of equitable community engagement they teach are highly relevant to community-based research in any discipline. Whether you are looking to engage people as participants, co-investigators, or advisory team members, the Just Research workshop will help you understand barriers and bridges to community engagement and help you develop a plan for implementation.”
