The Tisch College Community Research Center (TCRC) is a champion and resource for civically engaged and community-centered scholarship across all Tufts campuses. With an emphasis on community participatory and action research, TCRC advances equitable and innovative community-university research partnerships through developing resources, networks, visibility, and new opportunities for learning.

TCRC serves Tisch College, Tufts University, and partner communities in an unusual capacity, with an emphasis on shared decision-making and community knowledge. Strong relationships ground community-engaged research, making it more relevant, meaningful, and social justice-oriented. TCRC supports collaborations among local community partners and Tufts faculty and students to co-produce knowledge addressing our communities’ most urgent questions and concerns.
