CBPR Principle	Strategy
Collaborative, equitable partnership in all phases of research	Engagement that spans identifying priorities from design to intervention development and implementation to evaluation to dissemination.
Community is the unit of identity	Research is focused on the community.
CBPR builds on strengths and resources of community	Research builds on community assets and moves away from a deficit model.
CBPR fosters co-learning and capacity building	Efforts are incorporated to build the capacity of all partners to engage in research through orientation and training about research methods for community partners, and also training that orients academic researchers to be better partners/listeners to the local knowledge and expertise of community partners in the research endeavor.
Balance between knowledge generation and benefit for community partners	There is a genuine process for identifying at the outset the expectations/goals of the research to be conducted and eliciting the practical benefits for community partners in engaging in this research.
CBPR focuses on problems of local relevance	Communities are engaged in determining the priorities.
CBPR disseminates results to all partners and involves them in wider dissemination of results	Results are disseminated in multiple vehicles and strategies, peer-reviewed articles, newspaper articles, policy briefs, monographs, and community forums.
CBPR involves a long-term process and commitment to sustainability	Sustainability is defined as an ongoing goal to strive toward in the development of research activities.
