Measuring Base-Building Strategies
In August 2019, RWJF added a final project component to Lead Local by issuing the national Call for Proposals (CFP), “Community Power: Increasing Understanding of Base-Building Methods.”
The projects will inform how we measure base-building (see Glossary for definition) as a key ingredient for making transformational change.
More specifically, the projects will:
Support collaborations between grassroots-led organizations and researchers to build the field’s understanding of the range of methods applied in base-building efforts that result in changes to community-level social, economic, and physical conditions that we know influence health and equity.
Retrospectively examine various methods resulting in innovative and effective community base-building, including methodologies and activities related to base-building processes, infrastructure, and relationships.
Participate alongside other field and research experts involved in the Lead Local collaborative to respond to the North Star question.
