Office of Community Engagement (OCE)
About
The CFAR OCE partners and works closely with community-based organizations to establish and grow strong relationships based on equity, trust, and accountability. Through these partnerships, the OCE works to translate research findings into direct applications, to create mutual understandings of research, amplify community voices in research decision-making, and to support community-driven work around HIV/AIDS.
Community members interested in learning more about our work are encouraged to contact Alicia Diggs.
The OCE is part of the UNC CFAR Administrative Core.
