PACT is focused on community-engaged research. Through PACT, together, PACT Investigators and our community members and organizations increase the cultural sensitivity and impact of research while improving the lives of children, youth and families in the greater Harrisburg region.

• Our Community Advisory Board (CAB) provides opportunities for researchers to bring projects for development and feedback and for community members and organizations to share their perspectives to help shape what we do.
• PACT provides resources for community outreach and recruitment to PACT Investigators and works with community organizations to maintain a presence in the greater Harrisburg area.
• Our PACT Community Outreach Coordinator works with other community organizations to provide feedback, offer help, and connect Penn State with the community at large.
