Creating a better future for communities through research

Research guided by values

CCBR has completed over 320 community based research projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways.

We intentionally conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities in every step of the process. By demonstrating value and modeling the change we wish to see, we empower communities to take the first step towards social change.

At any one time, we have 15-35 active projects. For more of an in-depth look at our projects, see Selected Projects by Theme. Or browse our project database to view our complete present and past project listings.
