ENGAGE
A key feature of our programs of research is stakeholder engagement. From the beginning, we link scholars from across disciplines, government, and community to solve some of the most urgent health problems and to create exciting health-promoting opportunities. Listening, collaboration, and partnerships are essential to the success of our research.
Settings for this work span home, schools, community, and assisted living.
