Our Mission

The North Carolina Community Engagement Alliance (NC CEAL) is a community-engaged research initiative that seeks to strengthen communities across North Carolina by championing science-based resources, fostering partnerships, and promoting innovative, community-driven research to enhance health for all.

What We Do

NC CEAL works with stakeholders from community organization leaders to business owners to engage communities in the research process. We work to ensure that partners across the state can use research and education to address drivers of health in North Carolina.

Ways To Engage

The best way to engage is to join our coalition! We meet monthly to provide educational sessions and networking sessions to learn skills to enhance the way your community receives science based resources.

Principles of Partnership

Inspired by Community Campus Partnerships for Health’s 15-year assessment of functional partnership, we at NC CEAL proudly stand by the Principles of Partnership when engaging with partners in the work.
