Capacity Building
Our Centre seeks to build critical research capacity and opportunities for groups who tend to be under-represented in research and policy making. We do so by promoting community-based research (CBR) capacity geared at making the research field more inclusive and equitable, and by hosting mentored research fellowships and practicums.
Capacity Building Tools and Opportunities
Our Community-based Research Tools
With over 10 years of experience in community based research, we have developed hundreds of hands-on CBR tools for making research inclusive, empowering and equity driven.
Immigrant Insight Scholar Initiative
The Immigrant Insight Scholar Initiative is a mentored fellowship program to build research/scholarly opportunities and career pathways for under-represented and equity seeking groups.
Young Insight Scholar Initiative
The Young Insight Scholar Initiative is a mentored fellowship program to build research/scholarly opportunities and career pathways for under-represented and equity seeking groups. We partner with academic and community agency partners to create these fellowships.
Student Practicums
Our Centre offers meaningful research practicum opportunities for students as a way to train the next generation to become champions for CBR and equity.
