Community Research

 

Community-based research typically pairs community residents and nonprofit practitioners with academic scholars to produce useful studies on items of immediate interest and relevance to community members.

 

According to Richard Sclove,

 

* Community-based research produces KNOWLEDGE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO CONSTRUCTIVE, SUSTAINABLE CHANGE and often impacts local and national policies.

* PARTICIPATION AND COLLABORATION ARE THE DRIVING FORCES behind community-based research. Successful initiatives overcome tensions between professional researchers, practitioners, and concerned residents to respond to pressing community problems and needs.

* Community-based research often PRODUCES POWERFUL, FAR-REACHING, AND SOMETIMES UNANTICIPATED RESULTS, including heightened social trust and relationships.
