TCRC Research
As part of its mission to facilitate collaboration between university and community partners, TCRC annually provides seed funding to proposals that both ask a research question of interest to the community partner and report results back to the community.
What is Community Participatory Research?
Community-based participatory research (CBPR)is an approach to research in which community partners are involved in all aspects of the study, including deciding on what research to do, being listed as investigators, being in the budget on grant proposals, serving on the study team during the research, and helping to disseminate findings—including serving as co-authors on publications. CBPR is one form of community engaged research (CEnR) that we frequently support;some other forms of research that involve less intensive work by the community partner will also be considered for TCRC funding.
The largest and most impactful study funded by the TCRC to date has resulted in valuable scholarship and vital community interventions
