also fits a faculty member's research
agenda.
Institutional Engagement
University resources
intentionally offered without
undue barriers to the
community. It can play a role
in envisioning institutional
engagement efforts.
Agenda—Engagement
changes the choice and
focus of projects, how
they are initiated, and
their potential to obtain
funding.
Design and delivery—
Improvements to study design,
tools, interventions,
representation/participation,
data collection and analysis,
communication, and
dissemination can be
implemented.
Implementation and change—
Improvements can be made in the way
research findings are used to bring about
change (e.g., through new or improved
services, policy or funding changes, or
transformation of professional practices),
and capacity for change and the
maintenance of long-term partnerships
can be expanded.
Ethics—Engagement creates
opportunities to improve the
consent process, identify ethical
pitfalls, and create processes for
resolving ethical problems when
they arise.
The public involved in the
project—The knowledge and
skills of the public involved in
the project can be enhanced,
and their contributions can be
recognized
Academic partners—Academic
partners can gain enhanced
understanding of the issue under
study and appreciation of the role and
value of community involvement,
which sometimes result in direct
career benefits.
Individual research
participants—Improvements
in the way studies are carried
out can make it easier to
participate in them and bring
benefits to participants.
Community organizations—
These organizations can gain
enhanced knowledge, a higher
profile in the community, more
linkages with other community
members and entities, and new
organizational capacity.
The general public—The
general public is likely to
be more receptive to the
research and reap greater
benefits from it.
