CEAL aims to address racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic health disparities by partnering with communities to:

  • Build trust in science and research.
  • Ensure inclusion across the research continuum.
  • Advance community-driven solutions addressing health inequities.
  • Strengthen community-engaged research.

Our strength is in our communities.
