ABSTRACT:
Community engaged research involves the active and meaningful involvement of patient and community stakeholders throughout a research study.  For investigators conducting dissemination and implementation-related research, involving patient and community stakeholders can provide value as they conceptualize and implement their research. This presentation will highlight key terminology and characteristics of community-engaged research as well as specific strategies and key considerations for dissemination and implementation researchers seeking to meaningfully engage with patient and community stakeholders.
