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

"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."

"Yet while faculty members want to (and should) be recognized and rewarded for their efforts, many express frustration that promotion and tenure systems have not caught up with institutional priorities, changes in the dynamic nature of scholarship, or the aspirations of the emerging guard of academic citizens.2"

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.
