“Nothing about us without us” is an advocacy phrase used to promote the engagement of communities, particularly people with disabilities and marginalized groups. In health sciences, this approach is often referred to as participatory action research, a form of citizen science.

[UConn Health Sciences Library @UConnHealthLib]

Citizen Science lets everyone become a part of the research process! By participating in real scientific studies – whether it’s monitoring the environment, analyzing medical data, or classifying images – people from all walks of life can help advance knowledge and discovery.
