Research Questions
CBLI staff develops relationships with local nonprofits that have an interest in working with students to gather, analyze, and share information about their programs. These programs focus on a wide range of issues, including Homelessness, Urban Development, Community & School Gardening, Literacy & Education, Immigration, Health, Culture, and the Arts (among others). A short list of projects that are relevant to our community partners' current interests include:
- Interviewing clients of social service providers to help evaluate program effectiveness
- Administering surveys to determine community needs, attitudes, and/or opinions
- Mapping businesses, services, ownership, and the condition of properties that could be eligible for redevelopment or other funding
- Conducting literature reviews and other data analysis to identify successful models for adult and family literacy programs
- Developing fact sheets, brochures, or other program materials
- Constructing a survey to gather data on the impact of recent legislation regarding AIDS treatment and services
