"Challenges in the Co-Construction of Knowledge: A Global Study on Strengthening Structures for Community University Research Partnerships"

Since 2007, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Policy Research Center (PRC) has partnered with the Universities of New Mexico and Washington to study the science of community-based participatory research (CBPR). Our goal is to identify facilitators and barriers to effective community-academic partnerships in American Indian and other communities, which face health disparities.

"We used a case study approach to analyze data (partner dialogs, meeting notes, interviews, and press coverage) from a longstanding community-academic partnership."

Family and community involvements foster partnerships among schools, family and community groups, and individuals.

"Public health researchers have advocated CBPR as a means to bring evidence-based public health policies and programs to communities and to enable researchers to conduct community-informed research. Despite these goals, no studies have evaluated whether linkages among agencies involved in the CBPR process have changed as a result of interventions. In our study, we measured network linkages across 14 topics to determine whether linkages among and between CBOs and universities have changed as a result of project activities."
