This toolkit is designed as a project development checklist that acts as a <strong>guide for things to consider<\/strong> for community organizations conducting a research project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community-academic partnerships can expand the capacity, reach, and impact of community-based research.

The resource lists in the toolkit include road maps, templates, frameworks, definitions, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is no \u2018right\u2019 number of questions to have answers to before seeking a research partnership or conducting research<\/strong>. Instead, this toolkit can be used to help guide you to think about all the elements of a research project to determine if this is something you want to do and are able to pursue. Many of these questions are best answered in conjunction with the research team after the partnership has begun, but it\u2019s a good idea to have them on the radar prior to initiating the process. To that end, if many of the topics and questions under the Research Design section sound foreign to you, it might be worthwhile to pursue a research partnership to help guide those aspects of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"explore-project-development-topics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Project Development Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    <div class=\"grid gap-6 mx-auto my-6 cu-column md:gap-10 md:grid-cols-2 md:my-10 first:mt-0\">\n        \n<div class=\"cu-column-content\">\n    \n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cspsc\/research-with-indigenous-communities\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cspsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/toolkit-banner-purple-button-400x248.png\" alt=\"Button -
