Item Missouri Research-Extension (MO-RE) protocol to accelerate the translation of science to communities(University of Missouri, 2022) Kapp, Julie M.; Despain, Ryanne; Ressel, Kristi; Quinn, KathleenThis project is designed to strengthen the bridge between research and practice through which leading science developed throughout the University of Missouri system (UM) is delivered to its communities, particularly in rural areas. MU Extension’s delivery systems offer immense potential for knowledge translation given they reach every community in the state, but there are infrastructure barriers connecting research to practice that require intentionality before these systems can realize their potential. A focus area of the work is closing the health and health care equity gap with high-touch community health approaches delivered through Extension educational programs that link Missouri communities with university research. The protocol’s creation represents the confluence of research and scholarship, clinical training and practice, and public and community health needs. [Excerpted paragraph from p. 6]
