Congratulations to C3EN Pilot Awardee Chuka Emezue on being named the inaugural John L. and Helen Kellogg Endowed Faculty Scholar at Rush College of Nursing! This autumn, Emezue’s EMERGE Innovations Lab continues their annual Technology and Adolescent Mental Health Internship (TAMI) program for high school students — a program initiated with a $3000 C3EN community grant.
This program is being rescheduled due to the federal shutdown.
On September 18, 2025, C3EN hosted the second of two FQHC-researcher convenings in partnership with the Institute for Translational Medicine at Rush University. Facilitated by Doriane Miller, C3EN Community Engagement Core co-director and Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago, the event included presentations and a panel discussion intended to support collaboration between researchers and federally qualified health centers.
On June 25, 2025, “Collaborators in Health: Redefining Research-Community Partnerships, Chicago, 2022-2024” was published in the American Journal of Public Health, coauthored by C3EN researchers and Community Stakeholder Advisory Council members.
The chance to be healthy isn’t something everyone has, and that realization pulled me into public health.
