Community Research Fellowship

Through the Community Research Fellows (CRF) program, we aim to break barriers to patient engagement in Patient Centered Outcome Research at Yale, by developing a network of community stakeholders in New Haven & Bridgeport equipped to partner with Yale investigators. Despite the resources invested in research and patient care, these medical breakthroughs have had little impact on the complex health outcomes that continue to disproportionately affect low-income communities of color. The CRF program is designed to create a network of residents with knowledge, skills, and confidence for a successful partnership with researchers.

Applications for the Spring 2024 cohort are now closed. Complete the interest form to be contacted about future programs.
