Public Launch of CES4Health.info

September 1 is the Deadline for Submissions for the Public Launch of CES4Health.info!

Do you have products from your work in service-learning, community-based participatory research or community-based programs that are in forms other than journal articles?

One challenge for community-engaged scholars is the lack of mechanisms for peer review and dissemination of diverse products like documentaries, training manuals, policy briefs and curricula. CES4Health.info is a new web-based portal designed to meet that challenge! We are looking for diverse products of health-related community-engaged scholarship to be included in the public launch of CES4Health.info this fall. We define "health-related" broadly to include, for example, health care, public health, health policy and the social determinants of health (eg, education, food security, housing, income and its distribution, and social support, to name a few). We are also looking for peer reviewers from diverse settings, including community, academic, government and philanthropy.

Products can be submitted at any time, but those received by September 1 will have the greatest chance of completing the peer review process in time to be included when the site goes "live." We accept products in English from anywhere in the world.
