Established in 2012, The Community-Based Research Center (CBRC) uses a collaborative approach to research that involves communities and their health care providers with academic institutions, foundations, pharmaceutical and device manufacturers in the research development process.
The CBRC promotes community-initiated research that reflects the needs of the community by examining the relationship between the community and their healthcare providers. By using community-based participatory research approaches, the ultimate goal is to foster sustainable efforts at the community level that will help accelerate the translation of research advances to underserved and at-risk populations.
Our community-based participatory research is designed to promote collaborative research between researchers and members of their community through both the design and implementation of research interventions, targeting health disparities in the underserved population.
