With the support of a CU Boulder Impact Grant, the CIRES Access and Cultural Innovation program launched a project to develop an open resource toolkit for equitable and inclusive community-engaged research partnerships. The Community-Engaged Research (CER) working group of environmental science researchers on the CU Boulder campus and at NOAA have been collaborating with research experts, community leaders and graduate students to address unethical "helicopter science" approaches, which privilege the researcher's career without addressing the local research needs, resident expertise and community research efforts. An open resource toolkit and micro-credential program for equitable and inclusive community research partnerships are being designed and launched in the upcoming academic year. We have stipends for eight researchers to complete the pilot micro-credential program next year! Please come visit our poster to learn more about this project and consider signing up to participate.
