ABOUT THE COVER

Community- engaged research is becoming more prevalent in envi- ronmental health. With a spectrum of commu- nity involvement characterizing this research, it

has the potential to foster a diverse set of collaborative dynamics. This month’s cover article, “Navigating Community-Engaged Research to Understand How Drought A—ects Water Quality,” explores how a research team facilitated a regional community-engaged research e—ort that focused on the e—ects of drought driven by climate change. The article outlines lessons learned and project manage- ment strategies used to facilitate large-scale community-engaged environmental science. See page 14.
