This document discusses connecting community-based research projects to the Bonner student experience. It describes how community-based research recognizes community strengths, promotes co-learning between community partners and students, and aims to benefit both parties. Examples of potential projects involve areas like volunteer management, program development, fundraising, and communications. The Bonner Center's role includes helping partners identify research questions, facilitating approvals, providing student support and advising, and ensuring results are disseminated to benefit the community partner. The goal is for research to enhance partners' capacity while also providing valuable learning experiences for students.
