Community‑Based Research Certificate Course: Fundamentals and Excellence

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on September 5, 2023 in Announcements

Would you like to gain skills in research that can transform the world for the better? Do you want to co-design equitable research that contributes to stronger, more responsive, and sustainable communities (especially for those members who are marginalized)? The Community-Based Research Certificate Course: Fundamentals and Excellence will enhance your research capacity with theory, methods, and tools for conducting research with communities. Facilitated by leaders in community-based research, this interactive 8-week synchronous course will take a deep dive into theory that guides this research approach and into practical applications of conducting community-based research. In a small-cohort, you will learn through a combination of lectures, case examples, and group discussions.

Your learnings will culminate in the opportunity to develop your own community-based research proposal, applying what you've learned to a topic you are interested in and receiving feedback from your peers and course instructors. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate from Community-Based Research Canada that will recognize your learnings and support you on your path as a community-based researcher.

Dates: October 11th to November 29th, 2023
Location: Online (Zoom) 
Format: Synchronous classes every Wednesday from 11:30 to 4pm AST 
Duration: 8 weeks 
Instructors: Joanna Ochocka and Amanda Demmer (from CBRCanada), with special guests
