Each year at the GW Research Showcase the Nashman Center sponsors the Nashman Prize for Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR).
CBPR is an approach to research that involves community members as equal partners in the research process. It values their knowledge and perspective, recognizes their assets and contributions, and connects research to community action and social change.
This year, nine student finalists will present their research via a zoom panel session. Please join us for all or part of this event, and encourage your own students to submit abstracts for this prize next year.
