The KU Work Group's Community Tool Box is the world's largest resource
(over 7,000 pages of content) for building capacity for community health and development.
Since 1975, the KU Work Group has worked with partners to address two key research questions:
How do people work together to bring about change in communities? And, under what conditions
are these changes associated with improvement in community health and development?
In 2004, our center was officially designated as the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas. The WHO Centre was redesignated for 2008-2012.
In August of 2008, the KU Work Group received a five-year grant to test a model to reduce health disparities in the Latino Community of Kansas City.

In 2008, the KU Work Group received a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support Spanish translation and cultural adaptation of the 7,000 page Community Tool Box - Español. To view, click here.
