CSUN Health Equity Research & Education Center (HERE Center)

The HERE Center is a university-chartered center at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) dedicated to community-partnered participatory research. The HERE Center grew from the foundation that the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Promoting Opportunities for Diversity in Education and Research (PODER) program provided. At the HERE Center, we aim to: - Increase health equity in the San Fernando Valley and the broader Los Angeles region - Increase community-academic research collaborations around health equity using interdisciplinary, culturally humble methods including Community-Partnered Participatory Research (CPPR) - Provide a focal point for biomedical research training by centralizing campus resources related to health equity for students, faculty, and community members - Increase grant activity in the area of health equity - Serve as a source of information and dissemination to all affected audiences, especially those communities that we study.
