CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

for the

COMMUNITY BASED RESEARCH AWARD OF MERIT

 

Submission deadline: Friday, March 17, 2006.

 

The Centre for Urban Health Initiatives and the Wellesley Central Health
Corporation, in partnership with University College at the University of
Toronto, are pleased to announce a call for nominations for a Community
Based Research (CBR) Award of Merit. The award will recognize a Principal
Investigator who has demonstrated exemplary academic participation in the
field of community based research, as defined by Minkler and Wallerstein
(2004):

 

CBR is a collaborative approach to research that equitably involves all
partners in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that
each brings. CBR begins with a research topic of importance to the community
with the aim of combining knowledge and action for social change to improve
community health and eliminate health disparities.  

 

Nominations are invited from community, policy, or academic project partners
who are working (or who have worked) with the nominee on a recent CBR
project.
