Community-Engaged Research and Publications

Community-engaged research engages faculty expertise with the expertise of community stakeholders in order to co-create new knowledge that serves a public good extending beyond the academic purpose of the work. Through a coherent, purposeful sequence of activities, community-engaged scholarship yields artifacts of public and intellectual value, invites peer collaboration and review from a broad group of relevant experts, and is presented in a form that others can use, test, and build upon.

Community-engaged research is published both in disciplinary journals and in journals dedicated to community engagement.The CCE has long-term relationships with many community organizations who are looking for research partners. Community-Engaged Research and Creative Activity Grants and Faculty Conference Grants are available to offset the costs of this work.

For all community-engaged researchers, we encourage you to consult with the Institutional Review Board and complete their training.

For those applying to government grants (NSF, NEH), the Advanced Research Impact in Society provides resources for how to create the most compelling broader impacts programs.
