Purpose
*To foster respectful and equal collaborative relationships between 
community
partners and UIC researchers
*To dialogue with community partners about the information they need to 
more
knowledgeably participate in research when approached by university 
researchers
*To increase organizations' capacity to conduct their own research  or 
to lead
or co-lead research efforts
*To increase the capacity of community representatives to inform and 
protect
the community members they represent

The University of Illinois at Chicago is interested in discussing these
important issues with community members, staff of community-based 
organizations
and community service providers, people who are new to or interested in
community partnership research or those who have some experience but 
wish to
refresh their knowledge of essential research concepts and share their
experience.
