Project Title:	Community-Led Research Project (CRP) Hub at Yale
Fiscal Year:	2026

ABSTRACT The Yale Hub will work with the CRP Coordinating Center (C3) and NIH Office of the Director to support assigned Community-Led Research Project sites to inform development and implementation of community-based interventions. The Yale Hub will use community-academic partnerships to tailor and deliver responsive, accessible, and transformational scientific support to CRPs as they generate new scientific knowledge about community-led interventions. The Yale Hub has the capacity to provide scientific support across thematic areas as CRP needs are identified. The overall aim of the Yale Hub is to provide evidence-derived scientific and capacitybuilding support to CRPs based on collaborative processes and practical guidance adapted by partnered academic and community leader Hub unit teams. Hub units will each be co-led by academic and community director teams with almost two decades of experience working collaboratively on health-related research or practice initiatives. The Yale Hub will elevate the role of partnered research and decision-making in grant governance and implementation, bring diverse scientific, methodological, and analytical research expertise to facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration, meaningfully engage community members to partner in co-creation and implementation of research, and elevate the science of community partnered research.
