Partnering with UCR Researchers

Research Partnership & Impact Services

Beyond connecting researchers with regional partners, CCS can serve as a grant partner by providing scalable community engagement and research impact services that can be incorporated as funded project activities to strengthen broader impacts, stakeholder engagement, and public dissemination plans.
