Community-Based Participatory Research
A Holistic and Immersive Community Research Methods Training
Community-based research–that is, research that is conducted inside of unique, geographically/virtually-defined communities–is at its peak potential when it’s strategically and inclusively designed, and when a strong emphasis is placed on both empirical outcomes as well as research design and data collection processes. CHUM’s two-day training is tethered around the values of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) in teaching participants the fundamental aspects of doing collaborative, community-engaged research with historically marginalized and hidden populations; research with these communities that is, first and foremost, equitable and community-guided, but also methodologically sound, actionable, and impact-oriented. Thinking about research as a ”continuum,” this training stresses the importance of expectation-setting and relationship-building with communities.
On each day of this two-day training, our experienced facilitators focus on instilling the five core aspects of CBPR and equitable research design, including: 1) Creating an inclusive, responsible, and action-oriented research framework; 2) Developing rigorous and purposeful surveys, interviews, and focus groups; 3) Ethically and collaboratively collecting data; 4) Defining and measuring program successes (and failures); and 5) Thoroughly, clearly, and responsively disseminating research results to stakeholders and the public. All of these skills will be emphasized in an IRB and HIPAA-compliant lens that is uniquely tailored to the research requirements of the participants. Upon completion of our training, you will have a deep sense of the theoretical, technical, and applied skills necessary to begin to conduct substantive, methodologically rich, and equity-driven research with a culturally diverse population of individuals. In addition, participants will be given an Equitable Research Design Training Certificate and may be eligible for Continuing Education credits.
