Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Core

Community based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative approach to research between members of a community and researchers.

The CBPR Core strengthens community-engaged research in Alaska by supporting equitable partnerships between academic researchers and communities. It promotes research practices that reflect community priorities and builds capacity for collaborative science rooted in respect, inclusion, and mutual benefit.

Specific Aim 1. Provide training in CBPR principles and best practices to engage community members in research in Alaska. The CBPR Core will develop and deliver CBPR training to participants in the INBRE and RAIN networks through an innovative case study curriculum, as well as through collaboration with the Administrative Core and Student Research Program to provide CBPR training more broadly, including through plenary sessions and workshops at the INBRE network-wide annual research conference.
Specific Aim 2. Support the implementation of CBPR in Alaska. Enhance CBPR implementation through engagement of participants in the INBRE network, one-on-one mentorship, and the recruitment, hiring, and training of community research navigators to provide guidance to INBRE network participants.
Specific Aim 3. Train community stakeholders to better understand research and engage with researchers on community priorities. Community research navigators, community-based research assistants, as well as key community stakeholders will be invited to learn how to better engage with researchers to address community priorities.
