Community-Based Research

Community-based research (CBR) is defined as “a partnership of students, faculty and community members who collaboratively engage in research with the purpose of solving a pressing community problem or effecting social change” (Community-Based Research and Higher Education, Strand et al., 2004, p.3).

We can help you facilitate community-based research by:

• Assisting with the identification of potential community partners
• Developing a productive relationship with community partners
  
• Assisting with sharing the project results with the community
