How Do You Use It?

*Uploaded project materials may consist of, but are not limited to: any materials that authors can give permission for free use, such as articles, manuals, pictures, tools, surveys, strategy guides, presentations, poster templates, and more.
Why Should You Use It?
The CELR is a collaboration tool and digital library which offers an opportunity to share and exchange research tools and resources from community-academic partnerships and projects that address healthcare issues.
The CELR is useful for finding products (i.e. documents, images, education materials, videos, and PowerPoints) that may inform or apply to users’ research, community health, or community partnership efforts. It can also be used for identifying community partners and community-engaged researchers with like interests.
This Repository will grow and respond to evolving educational needs, community-academic partnerships and translational research that is open to and inclusive of the tenets of CE.
As the CELR evolves we anticipate many forms of return of investment for our institution, our local and statewide communities, and even communities on a national and international scale.
