Introducing Wellesley Central’s latest community-based research workshop....

CBR 301  Delivering on the Promise: Building Community
and Affecting Policy through Community-Based Research

Tired of seeing your research reports sitting on a shelf?  A fundamental principle of community-based research is ensuring that action outcomes emerge as a result of research.  The ‘gold standard’ outcome for CBR projects is to affect public policy.

So, how do I go from research to affecting public policy.....

Participants Will Learn:
•       how CBR research can be used for social change
•       how CBR can be articulated to maximize impact on policy makers
•       a framework for maximizing action outcomes from CBR
•       skills for using research as an advocacy tool

Who Should Attend:
•       funders of community-based research
•       community members, researchers, practitioners and others   involved in community-based research
•       those involved in capacity-building and community development
•       policy makers
