- Community Engaged Research: A collaborative process between the researcher and community partner that creates and disseminates knowledge and creative expression with the goal of contributing to the discipline and strengthening the well-being of the community. Community-engaged research (CER) identifies the assets of all stakeholders and incorporates them in the design and conduct of the different phases of the research process.
- Community Informed Research: Research that aims to gather input or feedback from the community for the primary purpose of benefitting the community through improved research and/or practice. This includes work such as studies that examine knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. "Informed research" differs from "engaged research" because with the former, the purposes, methods, and/or outcomes are not collaboratively designed with the community but more so by the research team and/or the grant specifications with a primary goal still being to benefit the community.
- Community Engaged Teaching and Learning: Method of teaching that combines academic coursework with activities that address community-identified needs through mutually beneficial partnerships that deepen students' academic and civic learning. These activities: 1) honor principles of community engagement such as reciprocal partnerships and having a public purpose 2) provide opportunities for students to collaborate with faculty and community members for the dual and integrated purposes of learning and service. Community-engaged teaching may be enacted through a variety of practices, including, but not limited to: service-learning experiences, on-site courses, clinical experiences, professional internships, community-based research or creative activities, collaborative programs, study abroad courses and experiences, international instruction, and distance education courses, when these practices involve reciprocal partnerships with community members, groups, or organizations.
