Description:This session aims to capture a real-world example of a collaborative, community-engaged research partnership. We hope that viewers are able to use these examples as a model in developing their own Community-Based Participatory Research (CPBR) projects. The featured CBPR Project is entitled “Establishing a Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) Surveillance Network”, funded by: The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS); Pilot Grant and Administrative Supplement (NIH-NCATS Grant # 8-UL1-TR000043). This project is a collaboration between the Rockefeller University, multiple Community Health Centers (Urban health Plan, Manhattan Physicians Group 125th Street, Open Door Family Health Center, Hudson River Health Care, Brookdale Family Care Center, and Manhattan Physicians Group 95th Street), and multiple Practice Based Research Networks (Alliance of Chicago, Clinical Directors Network, Inc. of New York City and STAR-NET, San Antonio Texas). All members are engaged and participate onsite or virtually. This session provides an example of the collaborative discussion of dissemination strategies needed to disseminate findings of this CBPR project. Dissemination strategies focus on reaching professionals as well as community members. Strategies are discussed, including abstracts and papers and presentations at academic meetings. The CHC team-members are actively involved in this process: they discuss abstracts they have presented and will present at national and local conferences related to the project and brainstorm future dissemination opportunities including live and virtual webcast presentations.
