Science funding agencies increasingly call for applications that demonstrate participatory, action, and community-engaged research approaches, though the issues and challenges of doing the work are underreported. Insight is needed to understand the unique challenges scholars, practitioners, and community stakeholders experience when engaging in research and strategies that may be employed to overcome the issues. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together and amplify the voices of experienced academic and community experts who will discuss the needs and challenges of collaborating in research and strategies and support they rely on to be able to foster meaningful and authentic partnerships that lead to actionable outcomes.

Kenyetta A. Cole, MHI, National Council of Negro Women, Inc.- Detroit Section
