Human Impact Partners Research Code of Ethics
The spirit of this Code of Ethics— and the spirit of our research — is heavily influenced by various forms of participatory research, wherein researchers, community organizers, and community members work as equal partners in the research process and develop deep, trusting relationships that extend beyond the research project.
