Community-Engaged Research

   Overview

   We engage with communities and
   organizations to design and carry out research
   relevant to social issues. We coordinate
   opportunities for academics, students,
   community professionals, and residents to
   share and connect about research, practice
   knowledge, and commentary about social
   problems and evidenced-based or promising
   solutions and processes.
