Proceedings of Advancing the Science of Community Engaged Research (CEnR): Innovative and Effective Methods of Stakeholder Engagement in Translational Research: abstracts

[...]while intended outcomes from the disciplines of design and community health are different, their processes share many similarities. In a process that spanned two years, we: * conducted face-to-face individual and group interviews with stakeholder groups; * surveyed members of our network online; * hosted a two-day-long “visioning” session using “open space” methods from design research; * analyzed our findings as a collaborative group; * used our conclusions to fortify our Strategic Plan and as the basis for our Strategic Plan; * wrote a new mission, vision, and values statement; * repeated the process to develop a new name, message, visual identity, social media strategy, and overall attitude and spirit to the communication of our mission.
