Authored by Sarah Flicker and Beth Savan and published by the Wellesley Institute, this June 2006 report presents the results of a web-based survey of community and university community-based research (CBR) practitioners designed to learn more about the context and efficacy of CBR in Canada.

This 2002 report, was prepared for Healing Our Spirit BC Aboriginal HIV/AIDS Society by Namaste Marsden to provide a general overview of models for Aboriginal HIV/AIDS community based research. It provides an overview of the current situation in Canada; a vision of a model for community based research that can beimplemented as Aboriginal institutional development continues; and highlights models that are currently being used to conduct Aboriginal HIV/AIDS research.

In the spring of 2000, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health commissioned Barbara Israel, Amy J. Schulz, Edith A. Parker, and Adam B. Becker to write this paper on community-based participatory research and the policy issues affecting such research.

In 2002, the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality commissioned the Research Triangle Institute-University of North Carolina Evidence-Based Practice Center to conduct a systematic review of the literature on CBPR approaches to improved health. Published in July 2004, the review was designed to establish the nature of the current literature and to assist academics, community participants and funders by identifying gaps in implementing this approach.

On December 2, 2004, CCPH and the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice co-sponsored a webconference based on the report. Entitled "Community-Based Participatory Research: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Its Implications," the webconference featured three of the report's authors as presenters. To access the webconference archive, along with presenter powerpoints and handouts, click here.

Published by CCPH and the Northwest Health Foundation in June 2004, this directory includes funding agency descriptions, deadlines, contact information, examples of previously funded CBPR projects, and an annotated listing of funding resource websites.
