Overview | REACH is neither a center nor an institute but a University-wide initiative created with a four-year grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Rutgers Presidential Funds. REACH leverages the full scale of interdisciplinary collaboration made possible by Rutgers’ status as a major research university, an anchor institution, and an academic health center. REACH capitalizes on the central role Rutgers plays in promoting holistic intervention approaches to community health and serves as a mechanism to marshal the university’s core activities in service of the public good, intentionally shifting how academic research and teaching relates to communities, with the goal of improving quality of life and advancing a more just and equitable future. Through REACH, Rutgers will create new spaces for inclusive engagement with the communities surrounding its campuses. It builds upon existing university resources and expertise while developing new collaborative structures and policy recommendations that can ameliorate inequities in education, housing, food access and security, and employment, as well as a population health component that will address social determinants of health (SDOH) in the context of health care delivery. REACH supports Rutgers’ mission of community engagement in research, teaching, and service by connecting the multidisciplinary expertise of faculty to regional problems, developing research and professional skills in students, and linking the resources of higher education to communities in New Jersey. The specific projects undertaken by REACH will be guided by five objectives grounded in principles of integrity, collaboration, innovation, and social justice: (1) to engage in direct work with communities to reduce health disparities by addressing adverse SDOH; (2) to establish collaborative and inclusive community-academic partnerships in socially at-risk communities that will develop evidence-based data, knowledge, and tools designed to support program, policy, systems, and environmental change leading to health equity; (3) to create opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations that will facilitate the translation of social science, clinical science, and public health research findings into sustainable community-focused educational, programmatic, and population health initiatives; (4) to translate community-based research to inform effective and equitable public policy at the state and local levels; and (5) to work with university leadership to ensure that the transformation brought about by REACH is sustainable and inherent long after the completion of the grant cycle. |
