Engaged Scholarship (ES) describes the actions that academic institutions take to further involve researched communities into their research. Building bridges of trust and communication with designated community partners is vital to conducting well rounded research. This inclusion proves to be beneficial to both researchers and community partners. Community partners are able to provide critical insight about their communities to researchers. In turn the researchers are able to more effectively help studied communities and provide valuable assistance in solving real world problems. Research that utilizes ES will have bigger social impacts and will help ensure no negative research occurs. Such negative research that may only be conducted to exploit studied communities to the benefit of academic goals.
