The following pages contain resources to support researchers who are interested in conducting community-engaged research (CER) in partnership with communities, including:

• A set of CER principles derived from major approaches to CER. Because CER is a principle-driven practice, it is critical for community-engaged researchers to know the key principles of CER, understand their rationale, and assess whether they are holding true to those principles in their own practice. To assist in the planning of CER projects, the principles are organized by the stages of engagement.
• A curated bibliography of CER readings and resources focused on practical matters in the co-design and implementation of CER projects in partnership with community partners.
• Engagement strategies and activities appropriate for different public audiences and research partners. Effective engagement strategies vary widely depending on the public audience, research partner, and community. We list effective engagement strategies by several external interest-holder groups.
• Funding sources for CER. A key challenge for community-engaged researchers is identifying funding sources for their research. We identify funding sources for CER – including federal agencies, foundations, nonprofits, and specialized programs – and what these funders typically look for in CER proposals.
• Tips for navigating the IRB process. Community-engaged researchers frequently report challenges during the Institutional Review Board (IRB) application and approval process. We offer a set of tips for working more effectively with your IRB to ensure the effective and timely review of CER protocols.
