Initiative for Redress of Inequity through Community-Engaged Scholarship

Five elementary school girls raise arms for a group "high five"

Our mission is to redress the broad inequities that characterize communities that surround research universities through authentic university-community research collaboration. We are guided by the University of Virginia’s purpose: To serve the Commonwealth of Virginia, the nation, and the world by developing responsible citizen leaders and professionals; advancing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge; and providing world-class patient care.
