 The partnership operates on principles of mutual respect, collaboration, equality, and multi-directional learning. 

CFU meets monthly to collaborate on various research and community projects. Researchers who are interested in meeting and/or collaborating with the group are asked to contact Valentine Mukundente, BA Team’s Community Liaison (v.mukundente@utah.edu) to discuss their project and, if appropriate, arrange a time on a meeting agenda.
