>This year* '"s conference will focus on the new opportunities and
>challenges to conducting community-based research. In recent years,
>community-based research has achieved a new level of legitimacy and
>has become an important element in government and private research.
>However, with this growth, new challenges have surfaced. Community-
>based research can be especially valuable to disadvantaged or
>marginalized communities, yet it is often difficult to secure funding
>and resources to conduct such research projects. The Third Annual
>CRN Conference will address these barriers and develop strategies for
>overcoming them. Conference workshops, discussions, and strategizing
>sessions will focus on four tracks of interest:
>
>*Communication, Trust & Ethics
>*Race, Class, Gender & Cultural Challenges
>*Skill building & * '"How-to* '"s* '=B4
>*Building Capacity & Sustainability
