Spring 2010 Professional Development Institutes on Community Engaged
Scholarship
"Scholarship is teaching, discovery, integration,
application and engagement; clear goals, adequate preparation,
appropriate methods, significant results, effective presentation,
and reflective critique that is rigorous and peer-reviewed." "Community-engaged scholarship is scholarship that involves the
faculty member in a mutually beneficial partnership with the
community." From Linking Scholarship and Communities: The Report of the
Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health
Professions Scholarship is an important component of faculty work, yet many
institutions are just beginning to implement structures that support
community engaged scholarship. These structures include faculty
promotion and tenure policies, processes for documentation by
faculty of their community engaged scholarship, recognition of the
role of partners and students as co-researchers, faculty
development, and ways to create connections between community
engaged scholarship and learning.

What structures exist that facilitate research partnerships? How are research questions defined?
What are potential barriers or challenges--for faculty as well as for community partners?
What are some components of best practices for research? What can be done to ensure that
research projects will be mutually beneficial? Whether you are a veteran or new to community
based participatory research, this workshop will be a forum to explore new approaches to partnering
