Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is, “a partnership approach to research that equitably involves community members, organizational representatives, and academic researchers in all aspects of the research process. It enables all partners to contribute their expertise, with shared responsibility and ownership; it enhances the understanding of a given phenomenon; and, it integrates the knowledge gained with action to improve the health and well-being of community members, such as through interventions and policy change” (Israel, Schulz, Parker, and Becker, 1998).

The Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service supports CBPR through faculty mini-grants, student research prizes, and professional development programs like Faculty Learning Communities (FLC).

This collection of resources is the outcome of the 2022 FLC on CBPR in Health and the 2019 FLC on CBPR Basics.
