rMinutes from first meeting:-- Bob Greenlee, director, Marshfield Clinic Community Engagement & Research: How narrowly are we defining community? Is it a geographic, cultural, or provider definition — or all of those?-- Chris Sorkness, sr. associate ICTR executive director with community program oversight: What about publicizing community-engaged research initiatives and best practices? What about highlighting successes for Type 2 pilot awards?-- Barb Bowers, T2 education associate director with CAP: There is confusion in finding things with the current wording on the web. People ask: how do I find research information that helps me in my community? How can I access this? Why should I think about research? We should target new research partners.-- Terry Cohn, community health connections: There needs to be a non-academic feeling and wording, so people in clinical settings in the state will connect.-- Sarah/Brenda (CCHE): the term underserved is not clear or inclusive (in the blue box). Something like Minority Health might be better.-- Another comment: perhaps "Community-based Investigators" might be a helpful entry in the FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS box.Assignment:1) your choice for the one-line term that should be the title of that ICTR Web community blue box (currently "For Community Members")2) a list of ICTR services and resources for community partners and community-based investigators that you each provide, that we want audiences to easily find on our webSummary Responses:1) your choice for the one-line term that should be the title of that ICTR Web community blue box (currently "For Community Members")Community Engagement in Research’ and then have a second layer within this topic which allows people to choose between something like ‘For researchers’ and ‘For community partners’Community Resources and ServicesFor Community MembersCommunity Engagement in ResearchI don't have a preference for different term for the 'blue box' –CCHE/Sarah2) a list of ICTR services and resources for community partners and community-based investigators that you each provide, that we want audiences to easily find on our web• Defined patient populations for type 2 translational research• Resources to facilitate engaging communities (note: defined broadly) in researchWe first needs to really establish the purpose of the website, then determine how the contents should be arranged.• It would be good to include an introduction about the importance of community-academic research partnerships to finding solutions to community health problems—with an explanation of the crucial role community partners play in the process.• The content should be determined by the goal of the web space.

CAP primary "audience" is made up more of faculty than non-academic health center investigators. If a community member was interested in getting involved in research and heard about ICTR and in particular, ICTR T2 funding, I would primarily want them to have access to a consult form so that I personally could connect with them and act as liaison to whatever they might need within ICTR -- rather than have them search for something on their own on the site.Individual responses from above assignmentsBob Greenlee- MCRF1. With admitted naiveté as to the potential impact on the rest of the web site and orderly web development principles, I’d vote for calling the box ‘Community Engagement in Research’ and then have a second layer within this topic which allows people to choose between something like ‘For researchers’ and ‘For community partners’. Each one would lead to its own front page that clearly describes what we think that group is, and what sorts of things they are going to be able to link to, so that if they think made the wrong choice they can go to the other one.2. The 2 relevant ICTR services/resources (or at least the 2 main categories of such) that I’d plan to mention on the web for the MCRF CAP core would be:a. Defined patient populations for type 2 translational researchb. Resources to facilitate engaging communities (note: defined broadly) in research(But I should probably reserve the right to change my mind on how to organize this after I hear the good ideas that come from the other participants in the meeting.)Terry Cohn WRENOur suggestion for the box is "Community Resources and Services".I don’t mean to be trying to get out of our current assignment, or to be contrary, but do feel that in order to do a good job on navigation and content; one first needs to really establish the purpose of the website. I did some searching on the internet for a good list of reasons to have a website, and propose the following list from the business perspective for us to consider. I believe the model works for whatever “business”.• To establish an internet presence• It is an extension of your current advertising• To enhance your professional image/corporate identity• To offer company information and give the public a favourable impression• To educate customers and potential customers on products and services offered by you• To provide better customer service by providing information and feedback mechanisms• To increase public awareness of the your company’s name, brand or identity• To strengthen your position in the marketplace.• Create an internet footprint for you• To strengthen brand identification• To develop a list of qualified prospects and leads • It can sell products directly over the Internet taking credit cards and checks (e-commerce)• To make product or service information available to current customers• To make product or service information available to distributors• To bring in new clients or customers to our location via contact and map information• To compete in the global marketplace• To offer links to other relevant sites• To offer a virtual community, a place where users can interact with each other• To form a basis or platform for social media sharing• Keep clients and distributors informed on success stories/testimonials and industry related newshttp://www.abc.co.za/the-purpose-of-a-website/A website is static. One invites people to visit it from other social media sites such as twitter and facebook or blogs. One can have live facebook and twitter feeds on their website that are fed by social media widgets. That keeps one's website alive and provides notifications of upcoming events. So, if there already exists a document with the purpose of the website, it would be helpful to share it. If not, I would think one needs to be developed because those of us who met may have different desires, as identified in the list above when envisioning why one would visit the website.Sharon Schuumacher1. One-line term that should be the title of that community blue box (currently "For Community Members") “For Community Members”2. A list of ICTR services and resources for community partners and community-based investigators that you each provide, that we want audiences to easily find on our web. • It would be good to include an introduction about the importance of community-academic research partnerships to finding solutions to community health problems—with an explanation of the crucial role community partners play in the process.• The content should be determined by the goal of the web space.

In my position within ICTR, my primary "audience" is made up more of faculty than non-academic health center investigators. If a community member was interested in getting involved in research and heard about ICTR and in particular, ICTR T2 funding, I would primarily want them to have access to a consult form so that I personally could connect with them and act as liaison to whatever they might need within ICTR -- rather than have them search for something on their own on the site.List of services for investigators -- these can be directed to either academic investigators or community members/stakeholders:Facilitating initial connectionsOngoing support for research collaborationProviding access to community/stakeholder advisory boards for research feedback (mostly for academic investigators)Collaboration with a practice-based or community-based research networkBuilding skills/education offerings/workshopsGenerating research questions/discussing project ideasCareer mentoring (for academic investigators)Study designProject implementationData analysisRegulatory supportPreparing a grant./contract submissionPreparing a scientific manuscript/poster/oral presentationPromoting or distributing written materials on a specific topic with a community audiencePromoting or coordinating oral presentations or briefings on a specific topic with a community audienceProviding assistance on specific policy improvement activities and/or policy decisionsProviding assistance on specific program and practice improvement activitiesUNC home page:
