College members engage in wide-ranging collaborations within and among a variety of academic institutions, state and local health departments, and community agencies locally, nationally and internationally.
Involving partners outside the UA, including community residents and leaders, and tapping the expertise found in state and county health departments, family planning agencies and other community-based organizations is crucial to the ultimate success of many of the College's research projects.
In many cases it is difficult to classify projects as purely research or purely service. Often the same project involves components of both. Even those that are predominantly research, often try to do some community capacity building so that the community will continue to benefit once the research funding ceases.
