CHAIRS-C

The Community Engagement Core (CEC) of CHAIRS-C promotes multi-directional communication among the Center and its investigators; older adults; community partners including organizations that provide services to older adults and/or are committed to environmental health; and policy makers. The CEC is establishing and sustaining meaningful and productive engagement between Brown researchers and community partners, using the Spectrum of Community Engagement to Ownership framework, which outlines a path to enhance and advance meaningful engagement of relevant communities in the research process. The long-term objective of the Center is to develop, deliver, and translate research into equitable solutions that promote healthy aging and protection from the health impacts of extreme weather for all.
