Goals
- To support networking and collaboration among well-established research teams and knowledge users to further the application and mobilization of knowledge
- To improve engagement between researchers and between community members and researchers by promoting mutual awareness and describing common areas of interest and expertise
- To enhance ability for the University and for the Community to discover emergent/informal and formal communities of practice within multiple sectors.
- To explore how researcher and community networking can be employed to meet other objectives.
To this end the working group aims to:
- Model Public/Community persons and groups as well as collaboration(s) between them and university researchers.
- Model forms of collaboration(s) between the Public/Community persons and groups and university researchers
- Model outputs of collaboration(s) between the Public/Community persons and groups and university researchers
Use cases
- capture community needs systematically and match them with student/faculty interests
- leverage research or materials for academic or corporate endeavors
- promote the meaningful involvement of communities in translational research
