Abstract | This book chapter describes the benefits of multi-university collaboration in community based research. Notes that multi-university collaboration allows universities to share common experiences, best practices and learnings, can help to institutionalize a new relationship between the university and community and, will contribute to the overall sustainability of community-university partnerships by increasing their visibility and legitimacy. Also discusses common barriers to institutional change and methods to overcoming these barriers. |
