Community Leaders Institute

The Community Leaders Institute is a 6-week leadership development training program that is designed to enhance community research and capacity building competencies in community leaders (e.g., directors, administrators, advocates and other persons who play a key role in using data and decision making).
The overall goal of the program is to assist agencies that engage and empower communities to reduce health, social and educational disparities in leveraging funding and learning how to use data to improve services and programs.
It is expected that upon completion of the program, leaders will have increased competencies in community research which allow them to access and leverage the funding needed to build capacity in their programs and organizations. The long-term goal is to improve community research capacity to address social, educational, environmental and physical health disparities in the greater Cincinnati community.
