Community-based participatory research (CBPR) and community-engaged have been established in the past 25 years as valued approaches within health education, public health, other social sciences for their effectiveness reducing inequities. While early literature focused on partnering principles processes, decade, individual studies, well systematic reviews, increasingly documented outcomes community support empowerment, sustained partnerships, healthier behaviors, policy changes,...

The continued momentum toward equity-based, patient/community-engaged research (P/CenR) is pushing health sciences to embrace principles of community-based participatory research. Much this progress has hinged on individual patient/community-academic partnered projects and partnerships with minimal institutional support from their academic institutions.
