Building Effective Community-Academic Partnerships: Lessons from Project GRACE

Wednesday, August 5, 2026 10:00am to 11:00am EDT

Join us for an interactive session exploring how meaningful partnerships between academic institutions and community organizations can strengthen community health initiatives. Drawing on lessons from Project GRACE, a community-academic partnership with more than 20 years of experience in eastern North Carolina, presenters will share practical strategies for community engagement, relationship building, shared decision-making, and sustainable collaboration. Participants will gain a better understanding of community-engaged and participatory research approaches and leave with actionable ideas for applying these principles in their own work.

Presenters are Mysha Wynn, Erika Redding and Mary McKinley.

 

This session is part of the Connections that Count: Abacus Evaluation Community Engagement Webinar Series.
