Invitation for community research equity training study

Please consider participating in this research project for experienced community researchers. The information collected in this study will be used to develop training materials and summaries of the results will be academically presented/published to share with groups that conduct community research. Community researchers can be members of the community, academic researchers, or other professional researchers that partner with communities to conduct research. For example, this includes primary investigators, project coordinators, community leaders, community gate keepers, and community stakeholder advisory board members. Community research projects can be in any discipline (physics, environmental justice, health care, ecology, or something else). To participate in this survey, you are required to have experiences leading or organizing citizen science, participatory medicine, service learning, or similar research methods. All participation in this study will be online or by phone.
