What We Do
The San Diego County Community Incubator Network (KIN) is a San Diego County-wide team of community and academic researchers who won a grant from the American Heart Association to execute a research initiative that will engage local residents experiencing barriers to good health by developing practical solutions to improve health and well-being.
The theme of our work is “flipping paradigms”. We will re-imagine and re-orient the ways in which resources, information and wisdom flow between communities, academia and other institutions. We aim to improve local food systems – so that the residents across California’s San Diego County have reliable access to nutritious and affordable food – through three core programs: a granting program developed with community members that funds community priorities; an academic-led scientific methods program to support community-led grants; and a postdoctoral training program. Our team’s vision is that everyone, everywhere will eat healthful diets and achieve cardiovascular health through research and collective action work that locally informed, collaborative, and broadly accessible.
