Developing and Sustaining Community-Based Particpatory Research Partnerships:
A Skill-Building Curriculum

www.cbprcurriculum.info

This evidence-based curriculum is intended as a tool for community-institutional partnerships that are using or planning to use a CBPR approach to improving health. It can be used by partnerships that are just forming as well as mature partnerships. Those using the curriculum will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of the basic principles of CBPR and strategies for applying them
• Understand the key steps involved in developing and sustaining CBPR partnerships
• Identify common challenges faced by CBPR partnerships and suggested strategies and resources for overcoming them
• Develop and enhance skills for all partners that will enhance their capacity for supporting and sustaining authentic CBPR partnerships

Each of the 7 units in the curriculum include:

• Learning objectives
• In-depth content information about the topic(s) being presented
• Examples and interactive exercises that are designed to trigger discussion and to help better understand the concepts being presented
• Citations and suggested resources

The curriculum was developed by the Community-Institutional Partnerships for Prevention Research Group with funding from the Prevention Research Center Program Office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through a cooperative agreement with the Association of Schools of Public Health (see list of partner organizations below). Generous funding from the Wellesley Institute enabled the curriculum to be made available online.
