Appendix A. Summary of Comments Submitted by Participants

Conference organizers distributed color-coded index cards to participants. Throughout the conference, participants submitted the cards with questions relating to the community, academic, and funding sessions. Unedited participant remarks can be obtained from conference organizers.

The following section summarizes participant comments.

Community Session

• Racism and discrimination continue. Historical and current discrimination has resulted in an imbalance of power. How do we change institutions, transfer power to communities, and address these issues up front?
• How do we alleviate CBO concerns about being used as research study recruitment agencies?
• How can communities ensure full representation in CBPR given that CBOs, high-visibility gatekeepers, and community activists do not necessarily represent the entire community?
• How do we train communities in: research skills, technology use, grant writing, and publishing?
• How do we resolve data ownership, intellectual property, and authorship issues given an imbalance of power between academic institutions and communities?
• How does CBPR deal with difficulties developing consensus within stakeholder groups, competition and conflicts of interest within communities, and power imbalances among community constituents?
• How do we bridge the culture gap between science and the community given exclusionary language and structures?
• How do we best publicize CBPR, disseminate CBPR results, and convince funders of CBPR's value?
• How can communities sustain gains and capacity? Can this only be accomplished if CBPR advances economic development and social justice?

Academic Session

• How can academic institutions change their culture to be more flexible, extend CBPR to health professional schools, and learn from the community?
• How can we increase the acceptance (perceived value and rigor) of CBPR among academicians?
• How can academic institutions encourage and mentor faculty who conduct CBPR?
• How can academic institutions educate IRB panelists and increase community membership on IRBs?
• How can the academic community help identify benchmarks for CBPR excellence and use these in tenure and promotion decisions?
• How can the academic community increase the number of minority researchers conducting CBPR?
• How can traditional universities and smaller academic institutions sustain CBPR?
• How can academic institutions address the special needs of female faculty?

Funding Session

• How can we persuade NIH of CBPR's value?
• How can we disseminate information about CBPR funding opportunities and models for various approaches?
• How can the grant making process be changed so that it is more open to comprehensive approaches such as CPBR? How can we communicate CBPR review criteria to funders?
• How can communities obtain funding for infrastructure needs?
• How can Federal agencies increase collaboration and communication regarding their CBPR projects?
• How can the CBPR approach compete for funding with the medical-industrial complex?
• What structural changes could be made within funding organizations that might facilitate acceptance of CBPR?

Appendix B. Summary of Greatest Hopes and Fears

Each participant posted his or her greatest hope and fear regarding CBPR and conference outcomes. Appendix B presents these as participants wrote them.

The following section summarizes participant hopes and fears.

Greatest Hopes

• To develop measures for its effectiveness, partnerships, and social determinants of health.
• To make network connections, begin collaborations, and share information.
• To advance recognition and understanding of the community perspective within CBPR.
• To obtain funding or information on funding.
• To change the Federal research agenda/priorities so as to eliminate disparities.
