Improving Health of Adolescents and Young Adults Focus of Pathway-to-Pilot Awardees

Last fall, 20 individuals from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and community organizations came together to learn about collaborative, community-driven research in the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) training course. The course is co-administered by the UR CTSI and the Center for Community Health & Prevention. Two teams comprised of researchers and organization leaders received up to $15,000 for their community-partnered research through our CBPR Pathway-to-Pilot awards.

Both of this year’s projects focus on improving the health of adolescents and young adults:
