The Office of Community Engagement Research (OCEnR), a part of the Wayne State Clinical Research Service Center, is housed at IBio. OCEnR is focused on sustaining health and well-being of community members through citizen engagement, collaboration and partnerships. As a university and community-wide resource, OCEnR offers a variety of services and trainings to promote community engagement and recruitment in research. Our vision includes encouraging community involvement in all research design and development, promoting community outreach through peer-to-peer initiatives and empowering community members to address health disparities and improving health equity.
