Developing top-tier research projects
Our story began with the need to access insights and knowledge from our community. As students and researchers, we had access to the academic literature we needed to develop top-tier research projects.
Research can help you get community knowledge
The Vision
Our scoring system for Science Communication Plans helps researchers see additional activities that can be planned to improve knowledge mobilization. Our vision is to assist researchers in pursuing their passion for improving society while giving communities a voice in research and knowledge production.
Research can help you get community knowledge
What is the problem?
ScienceReach can help you publish about the pressing challenges in your community. Researchers can then use this information to do
research that truly makes an impact. CBOs are eligible to receive regular compensation from ScienceReach based on the usage of their
publications.
Our Solution
ScienceReach solves this disconnect. Our platform features a Challenge Description Template to guide organizations through the process
of sharing key information about the challenges their communities face. The Challenge Description Template uses a unique approach to
identifying challenges by focusing on specific areas and groups. Next, ScienceReach’s data processing procedure verifies the validity and
credibility of each submission so that researchers can use it in academic initiatives. This provision of information provides a new stream of
financial revenue to our partner community organizations.
How did we tackle the problem?
Our team saw this need and identified an excellent source for community knowledge: community organizations. These organizations – NGOs, schools boards, local associations, etc. – are closely connected with the communities they serve and have a front-row seat to the challenges faced by those they help. All that is missing are the infrastructure to mobilize knowledge from community organizations and processes to put their knowledge in the hands of academics and researchers.
