CUCE-NYC is part of Cornell University's Manhattan Campus that includes Weill Medical College.
Involved in community engagement for over fifty years, it adapts to the evolving needs of communities, families, and individuals by engaging them in experiential learning opportunities. Its mission is to apply research in addressing the needs of a changing New York. Its novel community outreach research-based educational organization will play a major role in community participation in the CTSC. Along with our affiliated hospitals, CUCE-NYC will play a major role in community participation, patient recruitment, and will participate in the CTSC as a direct community outreach infrastructure.
Since 1948, CUCE-NYC has supported the translation of research into programs and policies to improve the quality of life for New Yorkers of all ages and races. It does much of its work through partnerships and collaborations with community organizations and is a major presence in the underserved areas of New York City. With a staff of sixty-two, who represent all the boroughs of New York and who speak six languages, they are prepared to support community based research, recruitment and interventions.
Extension and Outreach efforts of CUCE-NYC are further enhanced by a broad array of collaborative efforts that include partnering with agencies and organizations as diverse as: New York Department of Education, Family Development Association of New York, Harlem Children's Zone, Police Athletic League, City of New York, and over 100 other groups and organizations. The efforts translate into services for over 15,000 adults and youth, and the acquisition of over 3.5 million dollars in outside funding for New Yorkers, and award-winning programs such as: Talking with Kids About AIDS/HIV, Obesity Prevention, and the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program.
