Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an orientation to public health research that requires a collaborative approach to involve research participants throughout all stages of research projects. A more comprehensive approach than community-based or community-placed research, CBPR requires that all stakeholders in research projects, communities and researchers alike, recognize one another's expertise as strengths, thus ensuring mutual respect and contributions before, during, and after a single public health study. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is increasingly supportive of community-based participatory research and progressively issues solicitations for CBPR and CBPR-related research projects. At least half of NIH's 27 Institutes and Centers have supported research projects involving CBPR. As a means of funding and sustaining community-based public health research and education, current NIH funding opportunities for CBPR will be identified and explained. Additionally, an overview of recent and planned CBPR initiatives developed through the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) will be provided.

Learning Objectives:
Name one funding resource for CBPR. Discuss how the National Institutes of Health supports the work of CBPR. List two CBPR initiatives developed through the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research.
