Read about and learn from the Newark Community Collaborative Board (NCCB)’s history and processes that allowed it to operate and collaborate successfully for over a decade conducting community-based participatory research (CBPR) to reduce inequities related to social determinants of health (SDH). Authors analyzed group documentation and interview transcripts and found several key ingredients for success: 1) having a north star; 2) functional diversity; 3) challenges as learning opportunities; 4) board structure and healthy relationships; and 5) funding and resources. This paper is from our recent special issue with RWJF's Interdisciplinary Research Leaders. Alexis Jemal https://lnkd.in/gWJfR3jj
