Community–university research partnerships: a role for university research centers?

Community–university research partnerships (CURPs) are increasingly common, yet much of the existing research documents the experiences of individual projects or analyzes research methodologies associated with CURPs. Comparatively little is known about the role of university research centers in the design and implementation of CURPs. Even less is known about the role that interdisciplinarity (as a de facto characteristic of research centers) may play in enabling or impeding CURPs. This article contributes to filling this gap. Drawing from a reflective strategic planning process with research center associates and a broader faculty conference workshop, at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, this article offers reflections on the role of university research centers in CURPs.
