Abstract:

TRACtion seeks to narrow community-academia gaps through an intentional, proactive effort to systematically and productively engage local nonprofits and CBOs to encourage cross-sector knowledge transmission; inspire the co-development of use-inspired research agendas; and mobilize UCLA knowledge and innovations to accelerate impact in the region. This proactive, systematic approach is a necessary foundation for productive future collaborations. It’s rare for academia and community groups to focus on the same priorities at the same times without prior coordination. Even when researchers seek to work with communities, they may engage those groups on issues of interest to researchers but of marginal interest to the community group. And community groups sometimes come to researchers with interesting questions, but at times when the researchers are ill-resourced to address them. There are power dynamics at play here too; needs for funding may push community groups into research collaborations that ultimately require more capacity than they have available. TRACtion aims to establish patterns for collaboration that go beyond extraction.
