Description
Position Title: Community-Engaged Research and Training SpecialistJob Description:
The Division of Community Engagement, an integral unit within the Provost's Office, is currently seeking a Community-Engaged Research and Training Specialist. This position will play a pivotal role in advancing community-engaged research at Virginia Commonwealth University. The primary focus is on integrating the research needs of both VCU and our community partners, while simultaneously enhancing the capacity of VCU researchers and students to address societal challenges through community-engaged research practices.
Key responsibilities include developing and implementing policies and practices that nurture and sustain high-impact community-engaged research. This role contributes to our university's regional and national reputation as a leader in this field.

Demonstrated success in community-engaged research training and research itself will be crucial, as well as the ability to work collaboratively while staying focused on the VCU mission and core values.
Qualifications:
• Develop curriculum and provide training (online and in person) for faculty, staff, and students on core components of community-engaged research to increase the number of staff, students, and faculty trained in community-engaged research core competencies.
Provide consultation and support to university and community partners specific to community-engaged research and design, ensuring they align with university goals and ethical standards.
• Develop procedures for the alignment of community-engaged research with VCU's focus on priority communities and addressing societal challenges.
• Work collaboratively with the appropriate VCU units to evaluate the impact of community-engaged research initiatives and provide recommendations for improvement.
• Develop and maintain a database of funding opportunities for community-engaged research.
• Identify varied opportunities to promote VCU's commitment to community engagement and research through presentations, publications, and the participation of faculty, staff, students, and/or community partners in relevant conferences and data dissemination events.
