![]() The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program supports a national consortium of medical research institutions that are transforming the way biomedical research is conducted. Translational science is a major priority of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in their creation of Clinical and Translational Science Awards: This is much like community based participatory research (CBPR), wherein investigators work in partnership with the community to establish research goals and conduct the investigation (Israel, Schulz, Parker, & Becker 2001). It is a mutual exchange of ideas, research design, and findings, for mutual benefit, but especially to advance the public good (NE Resource Center for Higher Education, 2013). An integrative approach to research that is more inclusive provides a model for bridging research findings and real world application (van Kerkhoff, 2005).Įngaged scholarship envisions investigators in collaboration with people in many disciplines within their academic institutions, and people outside the institution, both professional and community people. Van Kerkhoff suggests the importance of integrated research programs that involve not just scientists but non-scientific partners as well. In the USA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established a Clinical and Translational Sciences Award to create a medical research environment that builds a step by step path from basic research to improved professional practice, with each step feeding the next, in an integrated manner (National Center for Research Resources, 2011). Van de Ven discusses “engaged scholarship” from the perspective of organizational and management studies, in terms of the relationship between theory and practice (Van de Ven, 2007). ![]() The world of science-medical, health, or the social sciences-seems to be at a convergence in trying to bring research results to practical application.

Index Terms: engaged scholarship translational science school based research community based participatory research ![]() The dual purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive framework for conducting school based research and to offer broad-based guidance, and a set of heuristics, for engaged researchers. Practical guidance for all community investigators is in short supply. There are very few guiding principles or literature to assist the school-based researcher, especially outside of educational research. The authors have experience in doing medical research with schools. The article offers practical guidance for engaged research. These usually require working with communities and institutions, and often involve community based participatory research.
