Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) at GW
Monday, April 12th, 11am-noon, Registration Link

CBPR is an approach to research that involves community members as equal partners in the research process. It values their knowledge, perspective, recognizes their assets and contributions, and connects research to community action and social change. This panel session invites several GW researchers to share examples of their work in CBPR in order to illustrate the values and principles of this work across several disciplines.
