The Starr Hill Pathways research team is committed to community-engaged scholarship that practices humility, mutualism, and authenticity in research structures, data collection/analysis, and publication/dissemination.
As our work focuses on youth, we believe in prioritizing their voices in the data we collect and in how we present it to external audiences. We strive to do this through building relationships with students and their families, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data, member-checking, and supporting youth-participatory action research projects.
The following manual outlines structures and practices of the Starr Hill Pathways research project. Members of this project include staff at the Center for Community Partnerships at UVA, university faculty and students, K-12 education partners, and community-based organizations.
In this manual you will find research values, team structures, decision-making trees, authorship and crediting practices, feedback and review processes, and discussions and practices for author order.
