"Research for Improved Health (RIH): A National Study of Community-Academic Partnerships" (U26IHS300009) funded through the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH V), National Institutes for Health (NIH) & Indian Health Service (2009-2013). This project was an in-depth investigation of promoters and barriers to Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) in American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) communities and ethnic/racial minority and other communities which face health disparities in order to improve health status and health equity. This research project invited the participation of CBPR projects from all NIH Institutes and Centers to participate in a national study design to test a CBPR Conceptual Model; and strengthen the knowledge of the added value of partnering processes for improving CBPR capacity, system changes, and health equity outcomes.
