The Center for Participatory Research was developed to promote supportive networks of research with community partners. It complements RIOS Net, a provider based research network working with clinical provider partners, as well as other consortia and groups on campus, in supporting Community Engaged Research within the Health Sciences Center Clinical and Translational Research Center.
The mission of the CPR is to support a collaborative environment within UNM aligned with community partnership, equity and participatory engagement to co-create new knowledge and translate existing knowledge to improve quality of life among New Mexico’s diverse populations.
The CTSC is a Health Sciences Center initiative to integrate and expand the reach of clinical medical research from the laboratory to clinical and medical practice: promoting a bench to bedside to community effort.
