Community Engaged Research
Community Engaged Research (CER) is a hub for non-profit partners, students and faculty looking to get involved in applied research projects with King's. The program sees student-faculty research teams collaborate with local non-profit organizations to help provide data-driven solutions to pressing problems facing communities.
CER seeks to understand the experiences of community partners and learn more about the issues they face, all while generating credible work that can be of assistance. Research rooted in, and owned by, the community is a primary consideration for all CER projects.
