Codebook of community engagement constructs and definitions.

Strategy	Definition
Communication	Communication between community stakeholders and representatives (residents, practitioners, politicians, and others) and researchers conducting D&I research. “Good communication” is guided by mutually understood values and guidelines and occurs through different means, including scheduled meetings, formal consultations, Memoranda of Understanding, and other strategies.
Partnership exchange	Partnership Exchange involves the specific trading of knowledge, skills, and various concrete resources (e.g., funding, books, space) between researchers, stakeholders, and potential users of knowledge generated by research and D&I efforts. The exchange often involves the elements of communication described above.
Community capacity-building	Community Capacity-Building is at once a process and an outcome of partnerships and collaborations that manifests in myriad ways, such as community development, job creation, political and social capital, and sustainability of D&I efforts.
Leadership	Leadership emanating from credible, well-positioned, influential figures and experts within the community who are invited to share their expertise and power in decision-making concerning D&I efforts.
Collaboration	Collaboration between stakeholders who share similar values and occupy stated roles in the partnership (e.g., paid positions) and who participate in all phases of D&I efforts to develop methods and procedures that are beneficial to both researchers and community members.

Note. D&I = dissemination and implementation.
