<p>A growing body of evidence emphasizes the value of longitudinal community engagement in increasing the relevance, impact and sustainability of community-oriented research initiatives. The UP AHEAD Research Handbook targets junior and senior researchers who wish to build long-term, bilateral partnerships with communities to develop research projects that address the unmet needs prioritized by populations. It offers constructive guidance on best practices, insightful quotes from community partners and reflects the contribution and review of a nationwide consortium of community and academic leaders in community-partnered research. In contrast to other guides, the UP AHEAD Research Handbook emphasizes practical methods to involve and partner with members from hard-to-reach, vulnerable populations that have benefited less from productive collaborations with researchers to improve health and health care. UP AHEAD Research offers a unique contribution to the field of community-partnered research by blending evidence regarding key challenges in the earliest stages of partnership with salient stories from front-line experiences with a marginalized population that had yet to benefit from substantive community-partnered research to address health disparities.Read with the free Kindle apps (available on iOS, Android, PC & Mac), Kindle E-readers and on Fire Tablet devices.</p>
