The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute in conjunction with the WK Kellogg 
Foundation announce the launch of a national peer-reviewed journal dedicated 
to 
community health partnerships.  Progress in Community Health Partnerships: 
Research, Education, and Action addresses topics focusing on the growing field 
of community-based participatory research (CBPR) while promoting further 
collaboration and elevating the visibility and stature of CBPR as a means 
toward eliminating health disparities.

The mission of the Journal is to facilitate dissemination of programs that use 
community partnerships to improve public health, to promote progress in the 
methods of research and education involving community health partnerships, and 
to stimulate action that will improve the health of people in communities. 
Communities, as defined by the Journal, may be based on geography, shared 
interests, or social networks. The Journal is dedicated to supporting the work 
of community health partnerships that involve ongoing collaboration between 
community representatives and academic or governmental partners.

Articles will include:
*Original research (methods sections must provide details on how community 
partners were involved in the project; community partners of accepted articles 
will be interviewed by a member of the editorial team for a question and 
answer 
interview that will be published along with the article)
*Works in progress and lessons learned
*Community perspectives
*Policy and practice perspectives
*Theory and methods
*Education and training
*Practical tools
*Systematic reviews
*Invited editorials

The first issue is expected in Spring/Summer 2006. For more information, 
including how to subscribe and how to submit papers, visit the Journal's
