By making a community into a real-life laboratory, it allows our stakeholders (students, community members and faculty members) to work closely together in three important elements (research, service, teaching and learning). To create a sustainable collaboration, here are some steps:
1) Issue identification, identify community vision and goal setting
2) Community capacity building & leadership development
3) Consensus building
4) Multi-stakeholder partnership and leveraging of resources
