Research Networks
ATLANTIC WORLD RESEARCH NETWORK
http://www.uncg.edu/eng/awrn/
Building on the success of UNCG’s 2004 Atlantic World Conference and its many ongoing Atlantic World initiatives, and supported by Provost David Perrin and Dean of the College Tim Johnston, the Atlantic World Research Network provides leadership in circumatlantic studies not only at UNCG and around our region, but around the Atlantic Rim and beyond. This interdisciplinary network embraces and fosters Atlantic World research, teaching, and creative work across campus—in the Humanities, Arts, Sciences, and Social Sciences, and across the Academic Units: in the Schools of Business, Education, Health and Human Performance, Human Environmental Sciences, Music and Nursing, and in the Library and the Lloyd International Honors College. From sponsored speakers, lunchtime colloquia, and curricular development to graduate student research awards, publications, grant-writing, readings and exhibitions, and international conferences both here and abroad, this new Network brings the Atlantic World home to UNCG, and UNCG around the world.
CHILD AND FAMILY RESEARCH NETWORK (CFRN)
http://cfrn.uncg.edu/
The Child and Family Research Network (CFRN) is a group of faculty members and researchers from the UNCG community whose scholarship and teaching reflects a core concern for the welfare of children and families. The goal of the Network is to facilitate collaboration among these faculty and other individuals interested in children and families, and to enhance scholarship, teaching, and service within the local, regional, national and international community. The Network provides support for scholarship, teaching, and service through workshops, funding opportunities, scholarly gatherings, and e-resources designed to bring faculty together to enhance their work.
COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH NETWORK

The Community-Based Research (CBR) Network is a group of faculty, student, and community researchers who are interested in learning about and practicing community-engaged scholarship - defined as teaching, discovery, integration, application, and engagement that involves UNCG members in mutually beneficial partnerships with members of the Greensboro community and beyond. The goal of the CBR Network is to promote the use of high quality community-engaged scholarship that has the following characteristics: clear goals, adequate preparation, appropriate methods, significant results, effective presentation, reflective critique, rigor and peer review.
The CBR Network provides professional development opportunities including a monthly brown bag series, grants, networking meetings, and resources for community-engaged scholarship (e.g., lists of journals that publish CBR, conferences, funding sources, calls for papers) at olsl.uncg.edu/cbr.

CCI HUMAN RIGHTS RESEARCH NETWORK

The Human Rights Faculty Research Network (HRRN) was launched through the Center for Critical Inquiry (CCI) in the Fall of 2008. HRRN brings together a core group of about twenty-five scholars from UNCG, the community, and other colleges and universities. The purpose of the Human Rights Faculty Research Network (HRFRN) is to facilitate the long-term, on-going collaboration of and communication among faculty members from different departments who work on human rights-related projects (with either pedagogical or research orientations).
