Community-Based Participatory Research
Cluster
The community-based participatory research (CBPR) cluster enhances the Network's
ability to effectively translate basic and clinical research findings to
community and public health practice by ensuring that the communities being
served by RTRN are involved with the planning, implementation, and evaluation of
the research and by assisting RTRN researchers to maximize their participant
recruitment efforts. Community participatory research cluster helps to ensure
appropriate community participation in all phases of translational research and
establish representation in all RTRN translational research clusters. The CBPR
also provides technical assistance to RTRN research projects with regard to
participant recruitment and dissemination of research findings and information.
Additionally, the CPR will provide training to health disparities researchers
working with minority communities to overcome barriers in collaborative
community participatory research.
Cluster Objectives
-
To maintain community partnerships
that
support collaborative development and implementation of research projects.
-
To implement a "community-focused" health research agenda that capitalizes on
established relationships with the community to advance translational
research targeting the priority RTRN disease areas.
