Project Initiation

We connect community agencies in interdisciplinary projects with faculty and students of the Faculties of:

• Child, Family and Community Studies
• Health Sciences
• Science and Technology - Sports Sciences
  

See the Faculty webpages for descriptions of their programs 

Our Resource:

• Faculty members
  • Content experts, prepared at the masters or doctoral level
  • Interested in engagement in a wide array of community-based research and community service-learning
• Students
  • Background and experience in community and organizations
  • Studying at the Diploma or Degree level
  • Some with research methodologies courses

Faculty and student's expertise, knowledge, skill and energy can he used to help community agencies meet project goals.

How?

• We develop and manage a database of projects and potential projects as these are identified by agencies and the Faculties. This is used to match agencies and faculty/students in projects
• We consult with agencies on the development of project parameters
• If appropriate, we assist agencies with funding proposals
• We make available logistical support
• There are a variety of different ways this happens, depending on who is the initiator - the agency, the faculty member, students or CHCP staff. Sometimes projects will arise out of other on-going work or relationships. One model, with the agency as the initiator is shown on the "Project Initiation" outline.
