The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) has a long-standing tradition of incorporating community engagement into scholarship. UNO students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to archive their scholarship of engagement through Digital Commons.
What is Engaged Research?
Engaged Research (defined): Engaged research has been developed, evaluated, and communicated in collaboration with community partners, but is rigorous in terms of its design and methodology. It is relevant to the needs of the community, and its outcomes should be valued by both academic peers and community partners. Examples of engaged research may include government funded research, corporate funded research; community group funded research; foundation funded research; community based participatory research; evaluation research studies; and/or applied research.
