NIH Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL)
Partnering With Communities to Improve Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Community Engagement Alliance — also known as CEAL — works to promote health, improve health outcomes, and strengthen partnerships through community-engaged research.
CEAL achieves this by partnering with communities to:
- Build trust in science and research.
- Ensure inclusion across the research continuum.
- Advance community-driven solutions addressing differences in health outcomes.
- Strengthen community-engaged research.
Our strength is in our communities.
