By the end of the training, the Community and Academic Partners will be able to:
  • Articulate the concepts and components of CBPR and other methods for CEnR

  • Apply CBPR principles in the conduct of research

  • Explore the partnership readiness and learning needs of the investigators (both community and academic team)

  • Discuss community assessment, working with vulnerable members of community and readiness of community for engaging in research

  • Implement a CBPR proj ect from research question and grant refinement (based on reviewer feedback), grant budget and resources, contracts, institutional review, steps for implementation and evaluation to dissemination of findings to academic and community audiences to address a shared community health priority.

  • Incorporate CBPR principles and approaches in funding applications

  • Explore ethical considerations for CEnR

  • Explore methods for collecting, analyzing/evaluating, and reporting data particularly involving vulnerable communities.
