Research in the Community

YCCI facilitates research in and with the community in a number of ways:

By supporting educational programs, clinical collaborations and research projects in countries around the world.
By supporting programs to increase awareness, interest and participation in translational research at Yale and disseminate research findings to the community.

Community-Engaged Research (CEnR)
The foundation for community-engaged research has been in place at Yale for almost 40 years via the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program, now National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP), the program which became a bedrock for the education of the next generation of investigators to conduct high-impact community-engaged research.
Cultural Ambassadors
YCCI recognizes that broadening community participation in clinical research involves linking investigators directly to resources in the community.
