What kinds of roles can MCW academic partners play when collaborating with communities?
Academic partner roles will vary according to each individual project and other partners. These are examples of some of the roles that MCW academic partners may assume: help leverage internal resources; participate as technical advisors to the focus area of your project; provide up to date evidence-based education to your community or coalition; gather, analyze and present data; help construct a research model; assist in program design and evaluation; assist with drafting, developing and editing proposals; and develop outcome measurements for your project. It’s important to remember that academic partner roles vary and will be unique to each project.
