The Community Engagement Research group at Children's Mercy is partnering with families in the community to help advance research that contributes to the health and wellbeing of all children.

The Children’s Mercy Research Institute (CMRI) is looking for volunteers to be a part of the Community Advisory Board.

Our call to action


Our goal at the CMRI is to ensure research is scientifically rigorous, patient and family centered, and responsive to the priorities of our community. Your input on research at the CMRI is integral to ensure discoveries made today advance the health and wellbeing of our patients and community for years to come.
