There was a need to develop more community programs and provide collaboration between UMKC faculty, University Outreach and Extension faculty, and community agency staff. Consumer and Community Involvement Surveys and interviews are conducted with consumers about different aspects of these projects. Grants have been written for many community agencies. The project has conducted many needs assessments, evaluations, and provided technical assistance to many agencies. Institute's Role Institute faculty conduct the activities on this grant.
