Connect to Protect: Baltimore
Connect to Protect: Baltimore links local researchers with community members, organizations and institutions in ways that create effective partnerships. Together, researchers work with community members to identify young adults at risk for HIV infection, determine neighborhood assets and unmet needs by examining how disease and risk patterns correspond with available services and address community needs with research-based prevention strategies that are culturally responsive and scientifically sound. Connect to Protect activities include the creation of a print and online youth service directory for Baltimore City, providing technical assistance on fund raising, grant writing and evaluation, creating user-friendly research programs, determining epidemiological data and assisting in network building between communities through organizing events and coalitions.
