Abstract
The siloing of insights gleaned from community needs assessments (CNA) is detrimental to leading, planning, and developing rural communities. This can lead to duplicated efforts, lack of effective and data-informed action, and unmet needs. This project explores the possibilities for coordinated CNAs across Vermont’s public sector using a systematic literature review of best practices, the creation of a VT CNA catalogue, and qualitative analysis. Our findings emphasize the role of community-university relationships in applied research and evaluation, and their ability to contribute to rural capacity. We conclude with recommendations for the development of statewide CNA catalogs.
