Center for Participatory Research

The Center for Participatory Research is an organization that promotes collaborative research involving community members, academics, and stakeholders. Its goal is to create knowledge that directly benefits communities by involving them actively in the research process. This approach ensures the research addresses real-world concerns, empowers communities, and fosters social change. Instead of researchers working alone, all participants share decision-making, contributing their perspectives and expertise. The center supports projects that build partnerships, enhance understanding, and develop practical solutions rooted in the community’s needs and experiences.
