Conducting Research with Communities in a Smart and Effective Manner

Robert Winn, M.D., the Associate Vice Chancellor for Community Based Practice at the University of Illinois, delivered the keynote address at the OHRP RCF in Greenville, NC in September 2018. RCF hosts East Carolina University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Central University, UNC Wilmington, the University of North Carolina System, HRP Consulting Group, and Advarra have posted this video of Dr. Winn's keynote address for public distribution. Dr. Winn's presentation delves into the potential of science to impact the lives of all people in disparate communities. He identifies obstacles to access and delivery of medical treatment and points out environmental factors that influence the health and care requirements of communities to highlight health disparities. He promotes new ideas in community outreach and engagement as a means to begin addressing and improving the access to health care in those communities that historically have been overlooked.
