What is CEAL?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Community Engagement
Alliance (CEAL) is a research network designed to work with communities and
community-based organizations to identify promising engagement and outreach
practices that communicate trustworthy, science-based information to
communities experiencing health disparities.
There are 21 “CEAL Teams” engaging communities in states across
the country. Using their existing relationships and fostering new ones, these
teams work closely with community leaders and organizations to address health
disparities. More information about CEAL can be found at https://ceal.nih.gov/
What is CEAL DMV?
CEAL DMV is the team awarded by NIH to carry out the CEAL mission
in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. It is a group of five universities: Johns
Hopkins University, George Washington University, Morgan State University,
Howard University, and University of Maryland Baltimore. Each university has
its own principal investigator leading the implementation of a unique project.
How can I get involved?
