Research

The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars at Penn trains physicians to become capable health services researchers involved in implementation of research agendas developed with communities, and the translation of research into action that will directly impact communities and health policy.

To develop skills necessary to translate research into action and effective policy, Clinical Scholars at Penn will engage in longitudinal relationships with one or more of Penn's community-based partner organizations. The objectives of this relationship include:

1. To develop and maintain relationships with constituencies beyond that of traditional academia
   
2. To support successful implementation of research agendas, informed by community involvement
   
3. To develop professionals with the skills to understand community-based organizations and their functions, and to successfully participate in their activities and process

A listing of Community Partners can be found on the Community Partners page.
