Community-Engaged Research
In community-engaged research, the community may play a role in defining relevant research questions, and a community member or organization may approach the university to collaborate on exploring a research topic. The degree to which the community becomes involved in a community-engaged research project can vary greatly between partnerships.
Services We Provide
- Protocol review and study consult: a group of experienced researchers and coordinators are available to assist investigators in designing studies and implementing methods that reduce barriers and maximize the likelihood of success
- Matching services: Novice investigators and community partners may request to be matched with seasoned investigators, community partners, or others in our cadre of experts to offer feedback, guidance, or collaborations toward successful community engagement and partnered research
- Experience: Community and academic researchers, or want-to-be researchers, can attend Community Health Research Exchange (CHRE) and CEnR Journal Club meetings to learn about partnered research, network, and share resources and ideas
- Access to Community Engagement Studios: to provide a framework for stakeholders to give immediate feedback to researchers on specific areas of concern before a research project is implemented, or to assist a struggling project
