As many as 10 positions are available for the 2024 class to be offered in Hazard by the University of Kentucky Center of Excellence in Rural Health and UK's Community Engagement and Research Program.
The institute's goal is to help leaders of community organizations reduce health disparities, leverage funding, and learn how to use data to improve services and programs. The center says the program includes "thought-provoking and interactive training activities" that help participants improve their grant writing, public speaking and presentation skills; finding and use data about local communities, creating databases and using a web-based data system; developing good surveys, making sure their programs are using techniques that work, and assessing whether programs are working.
The institute is also designed to help participants gain a broader perspective on community health issues; improve their abilities to partner with community or academic organizations to improve community health; network among community organizations in the state, particularly Appalachian Kentucky; enhance their leadership skills; become highly motivated community leaders who are better prepared to participate in community research projects; receive deserved recognition and prestige as a community leader making contributions to improve health in Kentucky, particularly Appalachian Kentucky; and address problems that affect the health of the community by implementing a project selected by the participant. A mentor will work in partnership with the participant.
