Dear SDOH colleagues,
Nominations are due February 16 for the Community-Campus Partnerships for
Health (CCPH) Annual Award!
http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/awards.html
The CCPH Award recognizes exemplary partnerships between communities and higher
educational institutions that build on each other's strengths to improve higher
education, civic engagement, and the overall health of communities.
The intent of the CCPH Award is to highlight the power and potential of
community-campus partnerships. As a strategy, these partnerships can
contribute to achieving many significant outcomes, including but not limited
to: eliminating health disparities; producing community-responsive, culturally
competent health professionals; increasing the diversity of the health
workforce; expanding access to higher education, health care and technology;
and advancing economic, social and environmental justice.
The award recognizes work being done by community-campus partnerships to
achieve CCPH strategic goals, including:
* Combining the knowledge and wisdom in communities and in academic
institutions to solve major health, social and/or economic challenges.
* Building the capacity of communities and higher educational
institutions to engage each other in authentic partnerships.
* Supporting communities in their work with academic partners.
* Recognizing and rewarding faculty for community engagement and
community-engaged scholarship.
* Developing partnerships that balance power and share resources among
partners.
* Ensuring that community-driven social change is central to
service-learning and community-based participatory research.
Through the CCPH Award we seek to recognize community-campus partnerships that:
* Others can aspire to.
* Embody the CCPH principles (see
http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/principles.html#principles).
* Pursue multiple community-campus partnership strategies.
* Involve a full range of partners.
* Achieve significant outcomes that go beyond a process or a single
event.
The CCPH Award recipient will receive:
1. Public recognition of the partnership's achievements at an award
presentation ceremony at the Community-Campus Partnerships for Health 10th
anniversary conference, April 11-14, 2007 in Toronto, ON Canada (Two
partnership representatives will accept the award on behalf of the partnership
at CCPH's expense). For more information on the conference, visit
www.ccph.info.
2. Two commemorative plaques.
3. A press release and newsletter articles announcing the award and
describing the partnership.
4. A description of the partnership on the CCPH website, with links to the
partnership's website.
5. An opportunity to publish an article about the partnership in one of
the peer-reviewed publications affiliated with the CCPH 10th anniversary
conference (for list, see:
http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-cfp.html#Publication).
6. Special opportunities to present at CCPH-sponsored forums that
highlight promising practices.
Any partnerships that are selected for an honorable mention will receive #3-#6
above.
To be eligible, the applicant must be an established partnership involving one
or more community partners and one or more higher education partners. By
"community partner" we mean an individual, organization or agency that
contributes to the partnership and is not a higher education partner. By
"higher education partner" we mean a community college, college, university or
residency program (including affiliated administrators, faculty, staff and
students) that contributes to the partnership.
Partnerships must nominate themselves and need not be members of CCPH.
Partnerships that have applied in the past but did not receive the award or
honorable mentions may re-submit. We welcome nominations from any country or
nation. CCPH can only accept nominations in English.
