Community, Scientific, and Policy Advisory Committee (CSPAC)

この CSPAC is comprised of experts from academia, government, policy, the media, business, and nongovernmental and private organizations.  The central role of the CSPAC is to bridge the “know-do” gap of intervention research by: working with the TREE Center to cultivate research collaborations, support the training and mentoring of URM’s, help identify community-oriented scholars and community research projects and assist in translating and co-disseminating evidence to practice and policy.

The CSPAC meets once per year to advise the TREE Center about its community engaged research portfolio and broader issues of providing reviews on publications, reports and grant and funding applications.

The Equity in Policy Training Institute

Sound policies follow good evidence, yet critical gaps remain between research, policy and practice.

この Equity in Policy Institute is a unique training comprised of 3 days and 9 modules, ongoing technical assistance and culminating with a half day of “policy dialogues.” The policy dialogues foster the development and implementation of more equitable policies; contribute to good governance and democracy; and broaden and increase engagement of people most impacted. See EPI Labs

The training fills a need for local champions and academic researchers to learn how to conduct policy analysis from decolonized and racial justice approaches.

Despite continued evidence of disproportionate adverse impacts of social disadvantage on racial and ethnic communities, insufficient attention has been paid to how research can be leveraged with place-based networks to promote sound policies that advance health equity.

To address this "know-do" gap, Lisa Cacari Stone had designed the Equity 'n Policy Training Institute in order to strengthen the use, translation and dissemination of both academic and community evidence for policy making: “this training fits a unique gap in our nation with both a focus on equity policy and engaging diverse partners to conduct policy analysis.”

Founding director, Lisa Cacari Stone explains the need for the institute: “Too often, policies are made within the confines of power, politics, white privilege and intellectual colonialism and the voices, lived experiences and community data of the ‘oppressed’ are ‘suppressed’. In order to equalize power differentials, knowledge must be produced from multiple diverse communities.”

Twelve community-academic teams (comprised of 75+ partners, mostly people of color) will release online equity policy briefs and half of the teams will produce digital policy stories dedicated to:

• Closing the Broadband Divide and Advancing Health Equity in the Border Communities
• Community Well-Being from a Diné-Centered Perspective
• Know Your Rights: Equity for People Living with Disabilities
• Grandparents Raising Grandchildren in Northern NM
• The Implications of the Public Charge Rule for Albuquerque’s Asian American Pacific Islander Community
• Broadband, Community Resilience and Intergenerational Cultural Knowledge Exchange
• Provide All New Mexican Children with Health Insurance for a Stronger and Healthier New Mexico
• HIV/AIDS Prevention for Youth: Translation of Community-Driven Sexual Health Work
• Tribal Health-in-All Policies
• Broadband Access as a Determinant of LGBTQ Health
• Structural Determinants of Behavioral Health of Latinx & Immigrant Youth in NM
• Diné Policy Institute

Together, we are creating a practical policy model for democratizing knowledge for social change and racial justice.
