Collaborations and Partnerships Core

正如整个国家协调委员会一样，方案协调会将遵循以社区为基础的参与性研究和赋权理论的原则，这是拟议的国家协调委员会的哲学基础。CBPR是一种伙伴关系办法，它平等地让社区和学术界的所有部门参与方案进程。CBPR最强大的根基之一是赋权理论，该理论认为，在社区成员能够解决从外部引入的目标之前，他们必须被授权来解决他们自己的目标和关切。这一进程始于真正的对话，每个人都平等参与，以确定共同的问题和解决办法。CBPR提出了四项原则：“a)将社区成员整合为平等的合作伙伴；b)将干预措施和评价结合起来；c)组织和方案的灵活性；d)将该项目作为所有人的学习机会。

Just as the overall NTCC, the CPC will be guided by the principles of the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and the Empowerment Theory, which are the philosophical underpinnings of the proposed NTCC. CBPR is a partnership approach that equally involves all segments of the community and academia in the programmatic process. One of the strongest roots of CBPR is the Empowerment Theory, which holds that before community members can address goals introduced from the outside, they must be empowered to address their own goals and concerns. This process begins with a true dialogue in which everyone participates equally to identify common problems and solutions. Four principles have been proposed for CBPR: "a) integration of community members as equal partners; b) integration of intervention and evaluation; c) organizational and programmatic flexibility; and d) utilization of the project as a learning opportunity for all.
