Community-based Research Assistant Program

As research oriented courses require a significant investment of faculty time in developing research projects in collaboration with community-based organizations, the Community-based Research Assistant Program (CbR) provides faculty with the support of a student assistant. The program seeks to support faculty as they build long term relationships with community organizations, generate research questions and activities in collaboration with community partners, and disseminate research findings in ways that benefit communities and enrich scholarly discourse about social justice issues.
