The Transformative Research Toolkit offers strategies and resources for community-driven research that centers lived experience, cultural knowledge, and collective action to drive social transformation.

It highlights participatory action research, cultural strategy, and frameworks that honor diverse ways of knowing, with a focus on building power, shifting public narratives, and achieving equitable structural change through principles like community self-determination, strategic action, and epistemic equity.
