We prioritize community-engaged participatory research by proactively aligning our research with social and environmental initiatives. 

We improve the quality and impact of our work by working closely with FCAT and other community partners to identify research aims and questions, co-design data collection protocols, collaboratively gather data and interpret results, and share information at local, regional, and global scales.
