TCI collaborates with Utahns to address social issues by applying the Framework for Collaborative Community Action on Health through community-engaged research and solution building; professional and community education; and capacity-building services.

TCI projects, activities, and programs are community-driven and connected to focus areas aligned with the social determinants of health to promote the well-being of all Utahns.

TCI coordinates opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to engage meaningfully with communities and organizations and conduct research and solution-building on social issues that are prioritized by residents, practitioners, and leaders.
