Community-engaged research (CEnR) is characterized by reciprocal and mutually beneficial partnerships between academic researchers and community organizations to address public problems. Community-engaged research is done in partnership with patients, health service systems, community-based-organizations, and other stakeholder groups. The nature of the partnership is based on a number of factors, such as research objectives. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one approach to community-engaged research. CBPR includes all partners equitably in the research project so that each partner’s unique strengths and expertise informs the research from conception to dissemination.
