Community Partners-in-Residence (CPR)

The Community Partners in Residence (CPR) program is critical to the success of CS3’s work, ensuring that research on solving streetscape problems is developed in partnership with the Harlem community. CPR workshops provide opportunities for interaction and collaboration, where CS3 researchers will share their ideas for improving the quality of life on the streetscape and CPRs will learn about transformative technology. The program is designed for continuous feedback, so that CPRs will play an integrated and continuous role in determining what research gets done and whether research is transformed into practical applications to pilot at the streetscape. It is the convergence between research, community engagement, and social impact that will ensure that all technological applications developed by researchers will adequately reflect and respond to the stated needs of Harlem residents.
