A Systematic Review of Community Engagement in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Extramural Research Solicitations
Objectives. We systematically reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Environmental Research’s (NCER’s) requests for applications (RFAs) and identified strategies that NCER and other funders can take to bolster community engagement. Methods. We queried NCER’s publically available online archive of funding opportunities from fiscal years 1997 to 2013. From an initial list of 211 RFAs that met our inclusion criteria, 33 di…
Community-Based Review of Research Across Diverse Community Contexts
A growing number of community-based organizations and community–academic partnerships are implementing processes to determine whether and how health research is conducted in their communities. These community-based research review processes (CRPs) can provide individual and community-level ethics protections, enhance the cultural relevance of study designs and competence of researchers, build community and academic research capacity, and shape re…
Amplifying the Community Voice in Community–Academic Partnerships
collaboration of academics and community-based partners who strived to publish papers that amplify community perspectives in clinical and translational research, including those involving participatory approaches with a wide range of communities, participants, settings, and geographic locations
Community Needs, Concerns, and Perceptions About Health Research
Objectives. We used results generated from the first study of the National Institutes of Health Sentinel Network to understand health concerns and perceptions of research among underrepresented groups such as women, the elderly, racial/ethnic groups, and rural populations. Methods. Investigators at 5 Sentinel Network sites and 2 community-focused national organizations developed a common assessment tool used by community health workers to assess …
Uncovering the Benefits of Participatory Research
Context: Participatory research (PR) is the co‐construction of research through partnerships between researchers and people affected by and/or responsible for action on the issues under study. Evaluating the benefits of PR is challenging for a number of reasons: the research topics, methods, and study designs are heterogeneous; the extent of collaborative involvement may vary over the duration of a project and from one project to the next; and pa…
The Central Role of Governance in Community-Based Participatory Research
At first glance, what could one possibly discern as a common thread between the diverse topics addressed in the four papers that comprise the Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) theme section of this issue: a trauma study led by survivors of abuse and violence and their academic partners1, a partnership between autism self-advocates and health professionals, 2 a toolkit for understanding readiness to engage in community-based particip…
Understanding Community-Based Processes for Research Ethics Review
Objectives. Institutional review boards (IRBs), designed to protect individual study participants, do not routinely assess community consent, risks, and benefits. Community groups are establishing ethics review processes to determine whether and how research is conducted in their communities. To strengthen the ethics review of community-engaged research, we sought to identify and describe these processes. Methods. In 2008 we conducted an online s…

Community-engaged scholarship (CES)-research, teaching, programmatic and other scholarly activities conducted through partnerships between academic and community partners-may result in innovative applied products such as manuals, policy briefs, curricula, videos, toolkits, and websites. Without accepted mechanisms for peer-reviewed publication and dissemination, these products often do not "count" toward faculty promotion and tenure (P&T) and hav…
Relationships between Community-Based Processes for Research Ethics Review and Institution-Based IRBs
Community groups are implementing research ethics review processes to determine whether and how research is conducted in their communities. We report on a survey of 109 of these community-based review processes about their relationships with institution based research ethics boards (I-REBs). Ninety-two percent reported that studies they review were also reviewed by an I-REB. Over half characterized their relationship with I-REBs positively. Those…

Applying Community-Based Participatory Research Principles and Approaches in Clinical Trials
Although an estimated 20% of adult cancer patients are medically eligible for a cancer treatment clinical trial (CCT), adult trial participation in the U.S. remains under 3%.- Participation rates are even lower among ethnic and racial minorities and the medically underserved, who tend to have higher cancer mortality rates than the population as a whole.- Given persistent cancer health disparities in these populations, cancer clinical trial partic…
Community-Based Participatory Research From the Margin to the Mainstream
Despite an increasing arsenal of effective treatments, there are mounting challenges in developing strategies that prevent and control cardiovascular diseases, and that can be sustained and scaled to meet the needs of those most vulnerable to their impact. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach to conducting research by equitably partnering researchers and those directly affected by and knowledgeable of the local circumstanc…
Mobilizing Partnerships for Social Change
How do we combine the knowledge and wisdom in communities and in academic institutions to solve the major health, social and economic challenges facing our society? How do we ensure that community-driven social change is central to service-learning and community-based participatory research (CBPR)? Answering these critical questions was the central purpose of the Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) 10th anniversary conference and the …
Introduction to Special Issue
Increasingly communities are engaging in community-based participatory research (CBPR) to address their pressing health concerns, frequently in partnership with institutions. CBPR with its underlying values challenges us to expand the traditional framework of ethical analysis to include community-level and partnership-oriented considerations. This special issue considers ethical considerations inherent in CBPR, presents examples of how communitie…
Realizing the Promise of Community-Based Participatory Research
In their provocative pair of articles, 1,2 the West End Revitalization Association (WERA) and their academic partners articulate a model of community-owned and managed research (COMR) model that is in stark contrast to the university-owned and managed research (UOMR) model that characterizes most research, including most of what is referred to as communitybased participatory research (CBPR). As COMR demonstrates, intellectual spaces exist outside…
Mining the Challenges of CBPR for Improvements in Urban Health
Building and Sustaining Community-Institutional Partnerships for Prevention Research
Community health workers
As the US health care system strives to function efficiently, encourage preventive and primary care, improve quality, and overcome nonfinancial barriers to care, the potential exists for community health workers to further these goals. Community health workers can increase access to care and facilitate appropriate use of health resources by providing outreach and cultural linkages between communities and delivery systems; reduce costs by providin…
