The Social R&D Community is a network of practitioners dedicated to growing the craft of research and development in the social sector.

It is also important that we seek to challenge the confines that make practitioners of diverse backgrounds not feel welcome or that they can’t contribute their perspectives. Lastly, we need to demystify some of the language of social innovation and develop resources that resonate with community members.
