  3. UW ICTR’s Mission • To create an environment that transforms research into a continuum from investigation through discovery and to translation into real-life community practice • “In the field of medicine, for example, it is used totranslate the findings in basic research more quickly and efficiently into medical practice and, thus, meaningful health outcomes, whether those are physical, mental, or social outcomes. “ • Thereby linking even the most basic research to practical improvements in human health • Change the UW culture from “silos” to cooperation and collaboration among ICTR members UW ICTR website link:https://ictr.wisc.edu/Home

  4. Initial Principles for Community Health Connections • Statewide process following the Wisconsin Idea • Learn from UW Extension successes in the field • Hire regional staff who “know the territory” • Create regional councils • Spark and support research in health, broadly defined by the communities themselves

  5. Our Regional Approach

  6. Community Health Connections:3 Areas of Focus for Our Work • Connecting investigators, community partners • Coordinators: Outreach, information gathering • Regional Research Councils • Supporting research development • Consultations, review of grant applications • Research support services • Dissemination and capacity-building • Research forums • Skill-building workshops

  7. Outreach and Information Gathering: Inventory of Research Interests, Expertise, Projects • Current projects • Objective, intervention, etc. • Funding source • Plans for dissemination • Ideas/needs for moving project forward • Contact history • Type ofservices we’ve • provided to projects • Contact information • Academics/researchers: • Institution/campus • Community-based orgs: • Mission of organization • Populations served • Research interests, expertise Currently 637 in database 340 academic researchers
