Trent Community Research Centre Details
As of July 1, 2018, The Trent Community Research Centre (TCRC) has been formally integrated into Trent University. For more than twenty years, the Trent Community Research Centre, and its predecessor, the Trent Centre for Community-Based Education, have worked in partnership with Trent University to create a unique community-based research and education program that has contributed to community organizations and experiential learning opportunities for students. The Trent Community Research Centre looks forward to strengthening and expanding its relationships in the community. Through its projects, the TCRC continues to support local organizations and provide meaningful community-based research opportunities for Trent students.Community-based research brings together the knowledge and research needs of the community with the research expertise of Trent University faculty and students. Research questions come from a wide range of community groups and organizations including local municipalities, social service agencies, conservation authorities, and community interest groups. Organizations submit project proposals to the Trent Community Research Centre . Once projects have been reviewed by research staff, faculty and community experts, these opportunities are promoted to students and instructors. Centre staff work alongside faculty to support students in their work and help guide projects toward successful outcomes for both the local community and students.
