Community-based Research

Community Data Flash Review

A flash review of collection, storage, and sharing strategies for community data. The findings found there is very little Saskatchewan-specific research addressing the data collected by community organizations in a Saskatchewan context. Drawing on both research and practice related to community-data storage and mobilization, we demonstrate that the development of data tools for Saskatchewan community organizations would enhance the benefits associated with data sharing and access while minimizing the risk. This project was supported by a working group made up of Chuk Plante, Brea Loewenberger, Taryn McLachlan, and Rachel Loewen Walker and supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

From Research to Impact

The Knowledge Mobilization Cycle, adapted from the Co-produced Pathway to Impact (Phipps et al. 2016), illustrates that research impact occurs when university researchers collaborate with non-academic partners who produce the products, policies, and services that have impacts on the lives of end beneficiaries.

Community-Based vs Community-Led

Community-led research and community-based research may sound similar but there are several key differences. This fact sheet provides a quick overview of the key elements that distinguish community-led research.

Community-Engaged Research Centres: A Scan for Social Innovation

There are a wide range of centres, labs, and initiatives aimed at supporting community- engaged research, each with a unique focus and scope. Through this scan, we recognize that the proposed Social Innovation Lab (SIL) will provide needed focus on gender and sexuality, as well as a focus on knowledge mobilization.
