COMMUNITY ENGAGED RESEARCH SURVEYS
Strengthening relationships with the community.
The RARC focuses on strengthening relationships with community members and organizations interested in addiction research and collaboration. To support this, we’ve created two surveys, which we invite you to complete or share with your networks:
- Interest in Community-Engaged Work: This survey explores researchers’ interest in engaging with the community on collaborative projects. Let us know where you stand and how we can support you: Survey Link.
- For community organizations interested in partnership opportunities, this survey helps us gather key information about your goals and areas of interest. Your organization’s information will appear on our website for future research collaborations: Survey Link.
