Dear CANCHID colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 1st Canadian Community-Based Research 
Skill-Building Institute for Partnership Teams
July 27-30, 2006
Barrie, ON

Applications are available and due on May 5, 2006.

This interactive skill-building institute will guide participants in 
initiating, developing and sustaining community-based research (CBR) 
partnerships. The institute will combine experiential and didactic approaches 
to teaching and learning. Central to the institute design is a mentoring model 
in which participants will work in small groups and as partnership teams with 
mentors to further shape their own action plans for partnership development and 
sustainability.

The Community-Institutional Partnerships for Prevention Research Group* has 
developed the institute's unique training curriculum, which was designed to 
trigger discussion and equip participants with strategies and tools for 
building and sustaining CBR partnerships.

To facilitate meaningful learning, the institute will be limited in size to a 
maximum of 30 participants. Participants will apply as teams of at least one 
community partner and one institutional partner. At least one partner must be 
based in Canada.  Teams sponsored to participate will be both committed to the 
goals of the institute and representative of the diversity of disciplines and 
institutions/ organizations involved in community-institutional partnerships 
for prevention research in Canada. Successful teams will be fully funded for 
the duration of their stay at the institute.
