Community-based participatory research

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues,

Given your interest in community-based participatory research (CBPR), I am

writing to share some information about upcoming CBPR professional development,

funding and publishing opportunities.

If you're not already subscribed to the free CBPR listserv cosponsored by

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) and the Wellesley Institute, I

hope you will subscribe today! Since its launch in June 2004, the listserv has

grown to over 3,000 subscribers who are passionate about CBPR and is a valued

resource for information-sharing and collaborative problem-solving. The

opportunities below are just a sampling of the sorts of postings that regularly

appear on the listserv. To subscribe, go to:
