Community-Driven Research Approaches

HERN

The American Heart Association’s Health Equity Research Network (HERN) on Community-Driven Research Approaches brings together teams of scientists from Furman University, Yale University and the University of California-San Diego to work collaboratively on research projects with community-based organizations in California, New York and South Carolina. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio serves as the community engagement resource center for the network, leveraging expertise for training across network sites and nationally, providing consultation and guidance, compiling data reports and coordinating the administration of the initiative.
