About : What is Community-Based Research?

Community-Based Research (CBR) is research conducted by, for, and with the participation of community members. CBR involves collaboration between community members (represented by grassroots activists, community-based organizations, workers etc.) and university researchers. Such
collaboration can have powerful and long-lasting results that reflect the
investment of each party and the benefits of working together.

The goal of the Colorado Community Based Research Network is to conduct community-based research that empowers neighborhood organizations and residents to address their own needs and shape their own future.
