Collaborations and Partnerships Core

就像整个NTCC一样，CPC将以社区参与研究（CBPR）和授权理论的原则为指导，这是拟议的NTCC的哲学基础。CBPR是一种伙伴关系方法，使社区和学术界的所有部门平等参与方案进程。CBPR最强大的基础之一是授权理论，该理论认为，在社区成员能够解决从外部引入的目标之前，他们必须被授权解决自己的目标和关注点。这一进程始于人人平等参与的真正对话，以确定共同的问题和解决办法。为CBPR提出了四项原则：“a)社区成员作为平等伙伴融入社会；B)干预与评价相结合；C)组织和方案的灵活性；d)利用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.
