The Institute for Community
Research conducts research in collaboration with community partners
to promote justice and equity in a diverse, multiethnic, multicultural
world. We engage in and support community-based research partnerships
to reverse inequities, promote positive changes in public health and
education, and foster cultural conservation and development. Communities worldwide are working to access resources and develop the skills needed to direct and control their own futures. Through the use of community-based research, ICR is narrowing the gap between research and practice by working with real communities on real issues. More News...
