SOAR-NEON Community Collaborative
Research Overview
One of my most significant achievements was leading a team in conducting extensive research on the concept of community collaboratives. Our research explored how we could create a community collaborative to address specific problems in our area. This project was a significant undertaking, and it required a lot of effort and dedication from everyone involved.
Throughout the research process, we studied successful community collaboratives in different areas and analyzed their strengths and weaknesses. We also engaged with community members to understand the unique challenges facing our area and identify potential partners and resources that could be brought together in a collaborative effort. Our findings and recommendations were presented to stakeholders, and we were able to create a community collaborative that has since made significant strides in addressing the identified problems. Overall, this project was a testament to the power of community collaboration and the importance of research in creating effective and sustainable solutions.
