Community-academic partnerships play a vital role in ensuring the engagement of African American (AA) men in research. Project Brotherhood (PB) is a community organization that has played an integral role in advancing prostate cancer (PCa) research within two pilot projects supported by the Chicago Cancer Health Equity Collaborative (ChicagoCHEC).Community Perspective: It is rare to see community organizations led by AA men acknowledged for their role in advancing health equity research. We provide a community perspective of PB as a model in engaging AA men in research. PB has been recognized nationally by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others demonstrating their national footprint in advancing the inclusion of AA men in all aspects of research. We hope to demonstrate that engagement of AA men in research is important and feasible and to highlight PB as a national model in engaging AA men in research.
