Community-based participatory research is a "collaborative approach to research
that equitably involves all partners in the research process and recognizes the
unique strengths that each brings. CBPR begins with a research topic of
importance to the community, has the aim of combining knowledge with action and
achieving social change to improve health outcomes and eliminate health
disparities."  Participatory models of research have become central to the
national research agenda as articulated by the Institute of Medicine, the
Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and others. This
institute focuses on the knowledge and skills needed to develop, implement,
evaluate and sustain effective CBPR partnerships.

The Community-Institutional Partnerships for Prevention Research Group has
identified characteristics of CBPR partnerships, factors that facilitate and
impede success, and strategies for building the capacity
of communities, public health agencies and academic institutions to engage in
CBPR. The Group has translated this work into an interactive skill-building
training curriculum comprised of short presentations, case studies and
interactive exercises designed to trigger discussion and equip participants
with strategies and tools for building and sustaining CBPR 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 experienced mentors to further shape their own action plans for
partnership development and sustainability.

Participants will participate as teams consisting of two team members- one
community partner and one institutional partner. Teams selected 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. Partnerships from the United States and
Canada are eligible to apply.
