Partnering for Effective Research Collaborations (PERC) is a new initiative by Duke Research & Innovation focused on reducing barriers in community-engaged research. PERC aims to develop a community engaged resource toolkit to streamline processes and reduce administrative burdens by assisting investigators to navigate complex, yet crucial elements of community-engaged research.
This initiative provides new resources to investigators that want to get started or are already established in community-engaged research but need support on navigating common barriers. Some of the resources provided by PERC include but are not limited to, writing community-engage research proposals, handling transportation, reimbursement, and childcare, amongst others. Services will expand as PERC receives more feedback from investigators.
