Abstract	Research and researchers must be willing to break away from traditional approaches when dealing with the real world of the urban community. First, ways must be found that will bring research out of the rarefied atmosphere of the university and reduce the distrust and the misunderstanding it has produced in the urban community. Research should focus on urban problemsolving and information generation for decisionmaking, and action research should be encouraged to refocus present research thrusts. In order to accomplish a wider range of research and increase the number performing research, formal programs (Facilitator of Research in Urban Schools and Communities) at universities should be developed to train individuals who would (1) be trained to do relevant research at the local level; (2) be urban problemsolving and information oriented; (3) train local school or community personnel in the planning and execution of research projects; (4) be a consultant to local urban personnel involved in projects; (5) be a researcher sensitive to the needs of the urban school and community; and (6) manage research projects in the urban community.
