The Wellesley Institute actively fosters and supports Community-Based Research (CBR) [0] . Through our CBR practice, we encourage research partnerships that reflect a shared interest in the need for social action on the social determinants of health.

The CBR work supported by the Wellesley Institute includes in-house projects, collaborative work that is commissioned, and community-academic initiatives that are supported through our grants program, and training for CBR practitioners.

Through our CBR practice, we:

• enable sustainable research partnerships between academic and community partners

• support the development of community-driven research proposals addressing relevant urban health issues
• fund small, targeted research studies, such as needs assessments, pilot interventions, and policy-relevant initiatives, as well as larger advanced grants
• provide advice on policy implications and knowledge exchange.
• provide an extensive training program on how to conduct Community-Based Research (link to Training)
