In 1995, as the Ft.Ord conversion led to planning the California State University Monterey Bay, health and human service leaders advocated to create the Institute for Community Collaborative Studies. ICCS is a unique community/university center of excellence that facilitates the development of collaborative partnerships to improve health, human services and public policy initiatives especially for children, families and communities in the Monterey Bay, California and across the United States.
The Institute since 1997, through Director, Jerry Endres, M.S.W., has facilitated the design of interprofessional education and academic curriculum in local community colleges and the CSUMB Department of Health, Human Services and Public Policy. In securing foundation grants, state and federal contracts, ICCS has conducted community research, designed innovative community program practices and policies in the areas of breast cancer early detection, health literacy, tribal community health promotion, welfare reform, wraparound practices, community/ law enforcement relations and other projects.
In an ongoing initiative since 1998, ICCS has developed the Matrix Outcomes Model.
