“Recognizing the current needs and the future demands that will be placed on community-based organizations, we envision a renewed commitment to building the capacity to work more collaboratively with research institutions such as Rutgers University. This model provides services that benefit low-income families and the surrounding community . . . We choose partnerships over demise, collaboration rather than separation, innovation instead of stagnation, and vision above rhetoric.” Shavonda E. Sumter New Jersey Assemblywoman (D-35, Passaic County) Majority Conference Leader
“It is critical that diverse populations are represented at the research table . . . Novel and effective strategies like those described in your proposal, are needed to continue outreach and engagement efforts that build mutual respect, inform and educate, and provide opportunities for individuals, organizations, and populations to actively engage with researchers in a wide range of studies.” Amanda Medina-Forrester, Executive Director Office of Minority and Multicultural Health New Jersey Department of Health
