What is Tufts CTSI Center for Aligning Researchers and Communities for Health (ARCH)?
ARCH is a group of researchers and community leaders within Tufts CTSI whose mission is to catalyze creative, reciprocal interactions between researchers and community members that promote clinical and translational research of benefit to the health of the public.
ARCH seeks to bridge the gaps that currently exist between researchers, the lay public, community-based organizations, public agencies, and practice settings. ARCH began in September 2008 and is funded through May 2013. We hope to develop a number of resources during this time.
As a whole, ARCH represents the Community Engagement component of Tufts CTSI.
