Community Partners:

Community partners have research needs that need to be addressed if
neighborhoods, schools, and community-based organizations are to fully
utilize their capacity for social change. Community partners possess the
local expertise in their communities and are fully involved in all stages of
the community-based research process. Together with their higher education
partners, they determine the focus of the research project, shape the
research questions, design the methodology, collect, analyze, and interpret
the data, and write up, disseminate, and act upon the findings.
