The Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service has supported civically engaged research through the creation of the Tufts Community Research Center (TCRC). The TCRC seeks to involve Tufts faculty and students from across all seven schools of the university in research done in collaboration with community partners. We place a special, but not exclusive, emphasis on Tufts’ host communities: Somerville, Medford and Chinatown. Research we support must involve a formal community partner and produce scholarship at the same time it yields knowledge useful to the community. Priority is given to redressing issues of disparity, inequality and injustice in society. Research topics may include education, the economy, housing, the environment and health.
