The Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center (URC)
http://www.sph.umich.edu/urc/

The Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center (URC) is a collaborative partnership involving several university and community-based organizations. Established in 1995, the overall goal of the URC is to promote and support interdisciplinary, collaborative, community-based participatory research that both improves the health and quality of life of families and communities on the east and southwest sides of Detroit, and contributes to the understanding of the relationship between social determinants, protective factors, intermediate outcomes, and long-term health outcomes specific to inner-city, urban environments.

 

The International Science Shop Network
The EU's initiative to make research resources more widely available
http://www.scienceshops.org/

They are small entities that carry out scientific research in a wide range of disciplines, usually free of charge and on behalf of citizens and local civil society. The fact that Science shops respond to civil society's needs for expertise and knowledge is a key element that distinguish them from other knowledge transfer mechanisms. Science Shops are often, but not always, linked to universities, where students conduct the research as part of their curriculum.
