Partnerships between university and community stakeholders are at the heart of all community engaged research. Building a foundation for transformative community-university partnerships includes shared goals and values, joint project management and decision-making, and co-governance.

  • Our Unit can provide guidance on the following aspects of Community-University partnerships:
    • Relationship building
    • Values alignment
    • Partnership assessment
    • Researcher readiness
    • Partnership agreements
  • Our Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) will also be an excellent resource for Community-University partnerships. Please see more information about the future CRAB on the Design tab.
