Community-engaged research is set apart by its methodologies and practices that emphasize working with <\/em>communities not working on <\/em>communities. Working with <\/em>communities means that all facets of research and creative practice are driven by community needs, goals, and values. This is different from consultation and\/or input from communities. Community engaged research is driven by communities <\/em>including: the conception of research questions, the design of methodologies, determining the range and pace of outputs, defining measures for and evaluations of impacts, and determining authorship, attributions, and access to data<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faculty members can apply for either grant that is appropriate for their research, there is no requirement or expectation that applicants will have received one in order to apply for the other.
