This article provides highlights of a lecture, titled Community‐based Participatory Research: A Culturally Focused Case Study , given at the Japan Academy of Nursing Science's 29th annual meeting in Chiba, Japan on 28 November 2009. Community‐based participatory research (CBPR) is defined as research that includes both the researcher and the participant group in collaborative, egalitarian, and partnership processes to assess, define, problem‐solve, evaluate, and disseminate an issue that is chosen by the stakeholders. A CBPR framework is highlighted and case‐study examples from each stage are included. The barriers and facilitators for communities and researchers taking part in CBPR projects are described. Strategies to improve researcher competence in CBPR are listed. Community‐based participatory research can be very fulfilling when incorporated into a faculty member's teaching, research, and service to the community.
