(*) –Team Lead

Project Administration Project Base: Phase 1 and 2 of the C3 Project was based in the Department of Medical Education at the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, home to C3 Project Principal Investigator/Director, E. Lee Rosenthal, PhD, MS, MPH. The C3 Project was carried out in collaboration with the Project on CHW Policy and Practice at the UT Health Science Center at Houston’s School of Public Health in the Institute for Health Policy, home to Project Co-Director Carl H. Rush, MRP. The C3 Project was additionally carried out in collaboration with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, home to Project Co-Principal Investigator, Julie St. John, DrPH. 

​

Project Funding and Support: Phase 1 of the C3 Project was supported by The Amgen Foundation. Supplemental support of that phase was provided by the CHW Apprenticeship Project, Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Phase 2 of the C3 Project was generously supported by Sanofi U.S. as one of their several investments in the CHW workforce. We acknowledge and applaud their investment in making the CHW workforce stronger, while supporting CHW self-determination. We especially would like to thank Anita McDonnell for her leadership in these Sanofi U.S. investments and support of the C3 Project.

​

In-kind Support: Both phases of the C3 Project were supported by numerous in-kind efforts. We thank the Community Health Worker Section of the American Public Health Association; Community Resources, LLC; Mesa Public Health Associates, LLC; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; CHW stakeholders and advocates, and the numerous participating CHW networks, associations, and alliances nationwide.
