About
The Center for Chronic Disease Reduction and Equity Promotion Across Minnesota (C2DREAM) will promote innovative, multilevel interventions that target fundamental causes of chronic disease inequities among BIPOC communities; generate knowledge, analytical and implementation approaches, and community engagement strategies to understand and develop solutions to address racism at multiple levels; develop and support the next generation of health equity researchers; create and sustain a community-engaged and equity-guided dissemination and implementation processes to translate research results and knowledge into action; and employ equity-guided evaluation approaches. Our regional partnership of academic institutions and community stakeholders is poised to understand and ultimately address the ways that racism undermines the well-being of BIPOC communities across Minnesota.
