The Urban Indian Health Institute was invited to participate in the April 2006 Community Partner Summit organized by Community Campus Partnerships in Health. As a result of the Summit, workgroups were developed to promote community-based participatory research. The Urban Indian Health Institute participates in the monthly conference calls for the policy and mentoring workgroups. Tasks include developing a mentoring toolkit for community organizations and academic partners on community-based participatory research and contacting granting agencies to encourage adding requirement for community-based participatory research in program announcements.
