Group 1: Advanced-Stage CBPR Partnerships—Using cases based on the Harlem & Community-Academic Partnership in New York and CBPR partnerships developed by the Center for Community Health Education, Research, and Service in Boston, participants will learn about common issues faced in advanced-stage CBPR partnerships, and how to address these issues using a mix of strategies and approaches. Both didactic and participatory teaching methods will be used. Group 2: Intermediate-Stage CBPR Partnerships, Part I—Using a case based on a community-higher education partnership in an Urban Research Center based in Detroit, MI, as well as the work done at CBPR training institutes coordinated by Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, participants will learn about common issues faced in intermediate-stage CBPR partnerships, and how to address these issues using a mix of strategies and approaches. Both didactic and participatory teaching methods will be used.

Learning Objectives:
Group 1: Describe how to disseminate the results of CBPR partnerships and negotiate community-university joint authorship and presentation of results and understand the multiple meanings of “sustainability” to CBPR partnerships; examine factors that can help and hinder sustainability and choose which are most important to a partnership; develop criteria for determining which efforts to continue; and learn effective strategies for weathering change. Group 2: Describe strategies on how to establish and maintain trust; identify processes for making decisions and communicating effectively; balancing power, and understanding how conflicts can arise and learn strategies for motivating, recognizing and celebrating partners.
