Projects
CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 500 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.
Projects can be searched for using words from the project title or using the service area, theme, or date range for the project. You can also type 'Service Area' or 'Theme' into the search bar to get a list of options in each of these fields.
The Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR), in partnership with the Durham Local Immigration Partnership (DLIP), recently developed a comprehensive evaluation framework to assess the impact of DLIP and its initiatives in alignment with its 2025–2030 Community and Inclusion Plan. The Plan is grounded in three strategic pillars:
- Championing collective action
- Building inclusive communities
- Embracing innovation and responsiveness
The framework was co-developed with the support of a Steering Committee composed of staff and partners. It includes:
· A clear purpose statement and guiding evaluation questions
· A logic mode representing the Community Plan
· Comprehensive quantitative and qualitative indicators aligned with DLIP’s goals, outcomes, and activities
· A data collection plan outlining proposed methods, timelines, frequency, and roles
The resulting framework ensures that activities and practices are meaningfully aligned with the Community Plan pillars and advances DLIP’s strategic priorities.
