Welcome to CCHP! The Center for Community Health Partnerships (CCHP) represents a group of MUSC researchers, clinicians, educators, and community partners whose mission is to engage and mobilize academic and community partnerships that promote health and reduce the risks of chronic illness. The CCHP is based in the College of Nursing and officially received “center status” in February, 2008. The CCHP has been developed to address the need for the coordination and linking of resources for MUSC-community partnerships and to promote mechanisms to enhance the quality and sustainability of these partnerships and their products. Planned activities will focus on strengthening capacity and resources for existing and potential academic-community partnerships, stimulating new research discoveries through community based participatory research, and facilitating the translation and adoption of new research findings into community settings. Partial funding for the CCHP has been received by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. CCHP investigators have received funding from NINR, NCI, NHLBI, CDC, AHRQ, NLM, Duke Endowment, SCTR, and others to conduct research and health promotion initiatives in communities in South Carolina and Georgia.
