 Community engagement is a critical component of translational research. Innovative educational approaches to support meaningful involvement of stakeholders in clinical research allows for bidirectional learning and greater engagement in translational efforts. Our Penn State Community Engaged Research Corps, CERC, team has developed an innovative research curriculum for a variety of stakeholders, including patient partners, organizational representatives and community health workers, CHWs. This brief report will outline unique curricular approaches, guided by adult learning principles to enhance stakeholder education and engagement in activities. Initial evidence of impact on learning is also reported. This article was authored by Jennifer M. Pogger, Andrea E. Murray, Emily A. Skewittler, and others.
