Community Impact Office Overview

cio

The Community Impact Office (CIO) leads the community outreach and engagement functions of the UK Markey Cancer Center.

Our mission is to engage communities, practitioners, and researchers in mutually beneficial collaborations to accelerate health equity and reduce the cancer burden.

The CIO has three objectives:

  1. Monitor community priorities for reducing cancer burden and disparities in KY.
  2. Facilitate bidirectional research that responds to community needs and priorities.
  3. Disseminate and implement sustainable, evidence-based guidelines, practices, and policies.

CIO consultation is available to Markey Cancer Center researchers and leadership, to discuss potential CIO support for facilitation of engagement with community partners and Markey Affiliate Networks, input on incorporating DEI into research and outreach, input on health education materials, strategies for reaching specific populations, and guidance on identifying existing data sources.

To request a consultation with CIO please complete this form: CIO Consultation Form
