Community of Practice

CBRCanada's Community of Practice (CoP) actively brings together CBRCanada members to learn from each other, network, and exchange best and promising practices for community-based research. Each Community of Practice session is led by a guest facilitator(s) who introduces a critical theme in community-based research, followed by interactive participant discussion. CoP meetings are informal and interactive - participants are expected to actively contribute to group discussions. 

 

 

 

​Note: The CoP is open for CBRCanada members only. If you are employed, studying, or affiliated with any CBRCanada member institution/organization, you are already a member. All CBRCanada members are welcome, whether you are a researcher, peer-researcher, student, project coordinator, administrator, director, or community leader.

CoP Summaries

Each month, CBRCanada staff, volunteers, and CoP participants capture key insights from the interactive discussion using a shared note-taking document. CBRCanada then creates short visual summaries highlighting key themes from the CoP discussion. Below you will find the most recent CoP discussion summaries.​

“I am appreciating being part of CBRCanada’s Community of Practice. I have been able to connect with community-based research focused faculty and staff at various academic institutions across Canada. I am also learning about resources and non-academic organizations which can be used to facilitate community-based research. These connections and resources are proving to be very valuable in promoting community-based research within my own research centre.”

"I’m glad to meet new people in this field, passionate about community-based research. I felt comforted around my nervousness practicing community-based research."
