This article focuses on the best practices for faculty members as they engage in community-based research and work. The field of sociology is used as a frame, demonstrating the community engagement inherent in the discipline that offers the support, guidance, pedagogical tools, and professional outlets for faculty who are committed to taking part in the engaged scholarship of linking professional efforts to the larger community. Best practices in terms of faculty review, rank and tenure policies, and commitment to amenable scholarship models (such as the Boyer approach) are considered to assist such faculty wanting to take part in community-based work.
