Challenges and solutions in the conduct of CBPR by early career academic researchers

Challenge	Solution
Isolation and lack of role models	Seek out mentorship
Multiple time demands for faculty at academic medical centers	Involvement of students and protecting research time
Unfamiliarity of community‐based partners with research protocols	Communication and capacity‐building
IRBs unfamiliar with CBPR	Capacity‐building with IRB
Limited funding opportunities	Alternatives to government grants
Publication	Target CBPR‐friendly journals
Promotion	Seek consultation and peer review of research products other than publications

CBPR = community‐based participatory research; IRB = institutional review board.
