Guidelines for community based research

This monograph, prepared originally in 2007 and updated in 2021, offers advice for both community-based and campus-based people who wish to form partnerships for collaborative, community-based research (CBR). It was developed by university and community representatives who have engaged in CBR, many of whom are members of University Neighborhood Partners’ (UNP) Community Research Collaborative and addresses four basic questions: what is the UNP and what is its role in CBR?; what does the University of Utah require of faculty or student research projects?; what additional processes and principles make community based research mutually beneficial?; and how can partners think through…

University of South Florida Guidelines for Tenure and Promotion

This revision of the USF T&P Guidelines necessitates that each unit (college, department) consider how to incorporate community engagement and community engaged scholarship into their unit-specific T&P guidelines. Incorporation of community engagement into T&P guidelines requires changes in language in the documents and, most importantly, changes in practice as T&P applicants submit their portfolios that may include community engaged activities in the areas of teaching, research, creative activities, and service, and as peer review committees evaluate such portfolios.

Exercise and Civic Engagement: 2 Podcasts that Deepen Thinking on Our Commitments to One Another

Eric Hartman, Haverford College & globalsl  Like many folks in professional roles, I often sit at a desk – yet I want to stay in shape. In November I upped my jogging and walking efforts in a monthly Fitbit competition that I have so far lost throughout the year. Several of the outcomes were wonderful: it forced me to identify meetings and calls that can be taken while walking (not all, but many); it got me outside more often with family members; and even though I moved in silence for several of those early morning hours, it led me through extended…

It is the rm belief of the authors that these types of programs can and should be considered deeply by other institutions of higher education wishing to create a distinctive and engaged educational experience that will help students stand…

Posing as a Doctor is Illegal…unless you go to the “Developing World”.

Originally published as an Op-Ed on Feb. 25th 2016 in the Orlando Sentinel, this longer piece provides additional information and links to relevant articles that may be of interest. Noelle Sullivan  On February 18th, 2016, 18-year old Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested for “Posing as a Doctor” in Palm Beach. Practicing medicine without a license is a third-degree felony in Florida.
