Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) strives for equitable collaboration among community and academic partners throughout research development, implementation and dissemination. To build the capacity of academic institutions and communities to function as effective research partners, the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS), home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Clinical and Translational Sciences Award, and the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, a CDC Prevention Research Center, worked with community partners to develop a community engagement consulting model. CBPR Charrettes harness the expertise of academic investigators and community partners with CBPR experience to provide technical assistance to build community-academic partnerships and strengthen partnered research approaches. This case study will describe the innovations of the CBPR Charrette model and highlight lessons learned in implementing the model and evaluating its impact on research partnerships and institutional culture.
