CERi 5-Year Report
Research that Supports Positive Community Change
Designed around a collaborative research infrastructure, 911吃瓜鈥檚 Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) promotes principles of participation, cooperation, social transformation and knowledge translation to lift up and strengthen the capacity of 911吃瓜鈥檚 researchers and students to engage respectfully and ethically with community members.
Overview
Over the past five years, the Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) at 312 Main has grown into a dynamic hub for participatory, community-driven research at 911吃瓜. Building on its origins in 911吃瓜鈥檚 University Steering Committee on Community-Engaged Research, CERi now connects scholars, students, and community partners through a network of programs that translate research into real-world impact.
This Five-Year Report highlights the evolution of CERi鈥檚 programs, partnerships, and projects, from the 312 Main Research Shop and Indigenous Knowledge Research Exchange to collaborative initiatives addressing climate resilience, housing justice, and democratic engagement. Through our projects, publications and programs, we illustrate how CERi鈥檚 approach to co-creation, training, and knowledge mobilization advances a more inclusive and responsive university research culture.
We extend our gratitude to the Office of the Vice- President, Research and Innovation, our Advisory Board, and the many partners and students whose collaboration has shaped CERi鈥檚 trajectory. Most of all, we thank the CERi team for their creativity, care, and commitment to building community-engaged research capacity across disciplines.
