DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the last decade, Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has emerged as an approach for addressing public health problems. Most importantly, academic and community-based entities have begun to form collaborative efforts based on CBPR principles to reduce racial/ethnic health disparities and improve minority health. These partnerships are fueled by the notion that many contemporary health problems involve complexities which will not be adequately addressed by traditional research approaches. At this time, there is a need to build upon the investment into CBPR to maximize the return for minority health and health disparity research by providing a conference forum that will promote use of CBPR approaches nationally among a diverse cadre of health behavior researchers. Designed by the American Academy of Health Behavior (AAHB), the proposed conference seeks to bring together leading CBPR experts (both behavioral scientists and community partners) who represent some of the most innovative research programs in the field of CBPR, minority health, and health disparities. The conference will provide a forum for academic and community experts to interact with conference participants about the strategies that predict successful outcomes in CBPR and the added value of CBPR for health behavior research. Conference attendees will include traditional researchers who have considerable expertise in one or more of a variety of priority content areas of relevance to racial/ethnic minority communities, but for whom CBPR is an approach which they are not well acquainted at this time. AAHB expects to expand how traditional health behavior researchers think about their work and increase the likelihood that they will adopt CBPR principles to improve minority health and reduce health disparities. AAHB has three objectives for this conference: (1) challenge senior investigators to expand their research to focus on high-priority minority health problems and the use of CBPR to address them; (2) mentor young, minority investigators in the production of high-quality scholarly products that address minority health concerns and health disparities using CBPR; and (3) build collaborative networks of academic and community-based experts to foster future CBPR partnerships to improve minority health and reduce health disparities. One key feature of the proposed conference is that community partners from existing CBPR projects will be included in the conference program to facilitate learning among researchers and partners alike. A second key feature is that AAHB and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Community Health Scholars Program will partner to establish a mentorship program for early career researchers from racial and ethnic minority groups. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has promise for improving public health. Yet, there is a great deal to learn about the application of this approach for helping communities. In addition, much remains to be learned about how traditional health behavior researchers understand participatory research, such as: (1) its potential for positively impact minority health and reduce/eliminate health disparities and (2) methods needed to be successful in developing and maintaining participatory relationships with non-academic community partners. Thus, the American Academy of Health Behavior (AAHB) proposes to hold a scientific meeting that will stimulate face-to-face intellectual discussion between (1) senior CBPR principal investigators, (2) community partners, and (3) traditional health behavior researchers on the application of CBPR to specifically address problems in minority health and health disparities. A conference of this type has not been held in recent years. In addition, we are not aware of meetings which have supported a mentoring program designed to build research capacity by fostering the development of early career researchers from racial and ethnic minority groups (traditionally underrepresented in science). AAHB expects that providing this conference will produce long lasting effects that will strengthen future CPBR efforts.

描述(申请人提供)：在过去的十年中，基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)已经成为解决公共卫生问题的一种方法。最重要的是，学术界和以社区为基础的实体已开始根据CBPR原则开展合作努力，以缩小种族/族裔健康差距，改善少数群体的健康。这些伙伴关系是由这样一种观念推动的，即许多当代健康问题涉及复杂性，而传统研究方法无法充分解决这些问题。目前，有必要在对CBPR的投资的基础上，通过提供一个会议论坛，在全国范围内促进不同健康行为研究人员对CBPR方法的使用，从而最大限度地提高少数群体健康和健康差距研究的回报。拟议中的会议由美国健康行为学会(AAHB)设计，旨在将领先的CBPR专家(包括行为科学家和社区合作伙伴)聚集在一起，他们代表了CBPR、少数族裔健康和健康差距领域一些最具创新性的研究项目。会议将为学术和社区专家提供一个论坛，与与会者就预测CBPR成功结果的战略以及CBPR对健康行为研究的附加值进行互动。与会者将包括传统研究人员，他们在一个或多个与种族/少数族裔社区相关的各种优先内容领域拥有相当的专业知识，但对他们来说，CBPR是一种他们目前还不太熟悉的方法。AAHB预计将扩大传统健康行为研究人员对他们工作的看法，并增加他们采用CBPR原则以改善少数群体健康和减少健康差距的可能性。AAHB为这次会议设定了三个目标：(1)鼓励高级研究人员扩大他们的研究范围，集中研究高度优先的少数群体健康问题，并利用CBPR解决这些问题；(2)指导年轻的少数群体研究人员制作高质量的学术产品，利用CBPR解决少数群体的健康问题和健康差距；以及(3)建立学术和社区专家的协作网络，促进未来的CBPR伙伴关系，以改善少数群体的健康并减少健康差距。拟议会议的一个主要特点是，现有CBPR项目的社区合作伙伴将被包括在会议计划中，以促进研究人员和合作伙伴之间的学习。第二个主要特点是，AAHB和W.K.凯洛格基金会的社区健康学者计划将合作建立一个针对来自种族和少数民族群体的早期职业研究人员的导师计划。基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)有望改善公共卫生。然而，关于这种方法在帮助社区方面的应用，还有很多需要学习的地方。此外，关于传统健康行为研究人员如何理解参与性研究还有许多需要了解的地方，例如：(1)参与性研究对少数群体健康产生积极影响的潜力，以及(2)成功发展和维持与非学术社区伙伴的参与性关系所需的方法。因此，美国健康行为学会(AAHB)提议召开一次科学会议，鼓励(1)CBPR高级首席调查员、(2)社区合作伙伴和(3)传统健康行为研究人员就CBPR应用于具体解决少数群体健康问题和健康差距问题进行面对面的智力讨论。这种类型的会议近年来没有举行过。此外，我们不知道有什么会议支持一项旨在通过促进来自种族和少数民族群体(传统上在科学界代表性较低)的早期职业研究人员发展来建设研究能力的指导计划。AAHB预计，举办这次会议将产生长期持久的影响，将加强未来的CPBR努力。
