Community-Based Research Funders Form Interest Group and Invite Their Peers to Join
August 21, 2007
Representatives of 21 funders in the US and Canada that support community-based research/community-based participatory research have formed the CBR/CBPR Funders Interest Group (FIG) to strengthen the role of funders in building CBR/CBPR capacity. Meeting for the first time in April 2007 at Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 10th anniversary conference and subsequently by conference call on a quarterly basis, the group invites any funders who are interested in CBR/CBPR to become involved. The group defines "funder" broadly to include any organization that awards grants. The first quarterly call, held in August 2007, focused on criteria for assessing CBR/CBPR proposals and mechanisms for peer review. The next call (date to be announced) will focus on strategies for evaluating CBR/CBPR funding initiatives and lessons learned from these evaluations.  Go >
