Welcome to CCHP! The Center for Community Health Partnerships (CCHP) represents a group of MUSC researchers, clinicians, educators, and community partners whose mission is to engage and partner with communities in research and initiatives that promote health, reduce the risk of illness and disease, and build community resilience. What does the CCHP do? Link: partners, resources, and information Leverage: capacity for academic-community partnerships and community based participatory research Lead: innovation and awareness related to the social determinants of health and health disparities The CCHP is based in the College of Nursing and officially received “center status” in February, 2008. The CCHP has been developed to address the need for the coordination and linking of resources for MUSC-community partnerships and to promote mechanisms to enhance the quality and sustainability of these partnerships and their products. Planned activities will focus on strengthening capacity and resources for existing and potential academic-community partnerships, stimulating new research discoveries through community based participatory research, and facilitating the translation and adoption of new research findings into community settings. Partial funding for the CCHP has been received by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. CCHP investigators have received funding from NINR, NCI, NHLBI, CDC, AHRQ, NLM, Duke Endowment, SCTR, and others to conduct research and health promotion initiatives in communities in South Carolina and Georgia.
