Developing Partnerships with Socially Vulnerable Populations—CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series

This check sheet is for researchers who are considering ways to ethically develop partnerships with socially vulnerable populations. It includes evidence-based steps for engaging with these populations to meet research and community goals. It also summarizes key considerations to address at the outset of a new collaboration, such as positionality, budget availability, and expected time commitments. About the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series: The National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a series of brief check sheets that are meant to be used as researchers design their studies, prepare to enter the field, conduct field research, and exit the field. The series offers best practices for extreme events research and includes check sheets that are free to the research community.
