Dear colleagues,

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health is pleased to announce the 
third call in our 2009-2010 Educational Conference Call Series on 
Building Community Capacity for Research. Each call includes speakers 
who provide answers and insights from their direct experience, helpful 
handouts and links to relevant resources.  The audiofile, agenda and 
handouts for the first two calls on June 3 and July 15 are now posted on 
the CCPH website at http//depts.washington.edu/ccph/pastpresentations.html

The third call, scheduled for Aug 20 from 3:30 - 5 pm Eastern Time, will 
focus on the topic of Catalyzing CBPR at the Neighborhood Level.

To register for the call, go to
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/ccphuw/81018

The call will feature speakers from St. Luke's Episcopal Health Charities'
Center for Community Based Research in Houston TX and communities that 
have partnered with the Center on CBPR initiatives.  Created in 1997 as a
separate component of St. Luke's Episcopal Health System, the Charities 
is a grant-making public charity with 501(c)(3) status that combines CBPR,
strategic community partnerships, and its Community Health Information
System to have the maximum impact on community health within the 
57-counties of its mission field.

On the call, participants will learn about how the Charities has 
assisted organizations and institutions in moving from a "community as 
advisor" model of community-based research to a participatory model that 
builds community capacity in all phases of the research process.

Participants will be introduced to the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative 
model of CBPR at the neighborhood level, a CBPR scholar-in-residence 
program, and the evolution of a team of community-based faculty 
available to work with academic institutions, community-based 
organizations, government agencies and philanthropies seeking to build 
capacity, at both individual and organizational levels, for research and 
community engagement.

Intended audience members include community based organizations, 
grass-roots citizens groups, philanthropic organizations and academic 
administrators and researchers seeking to engage community in research.
