Thank you so much for your interest in joining the EmpowerED Workshop.
Participant Action Research (PAR) is a collaborative and empowering approach to research that involves individuals directly affected by particular issues. Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) is when people, organizations, and researchers work together as a team to study and improve things that matter to their community.
PAR/CBPR Training provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to better participate in local research initiatives. During these four 1/2 day trainings, participants learn to frame research questions, develop their voice, and collaborate in community-based research projects.
