At the George Institute for Global Health, we are committed to: improving our research by making it more relevant, responsive, translatable, and accountable to our communities; and ensuring their involvement is a fundamental aspect of all projects at the Institute. To facilitate this, we have developed a framework to establish a common understanding of community engagement and involvement across our global offices and research programs.
We are putting this commitment into action by establishing committees such as Australia's Consumer and Community Advisory Committee (CCAC), and consumer panels in some of our Programs, such as Brain, Cardiovascular, and Renal and Metabolic Health, we are committed to having meaningful engagement with the people who our research will affect.
