Community-engaged research centers on deep partnerships between academics and community members committed to addressing issues impacting local populations. Community is seen as more than just research subjects. It is recognized for the context and expertise it brings to the project.
Programs offered by the Confluence Collaborative that support and celebrate community-engaged research include:
| Research consultations | |
| Funding and Resource Navigation | |
| Research Development Support |

The whole idea of community-engaged research, particularly at the level of what we call “community-based participatory” or “community action research,” is that notion of community benefit. That’s really what we want to facilitate.
