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.
社区-学术伙伴关系在确保非裔美国男性参与研究方面发挥着至关重要的作用。兄弟会项目（PB）是一个社区组织，在由芝加哥癌症健康公平协作组织（ChicagoCHEC）支持的两个试点项目中，它在推进前列腺癌（PCa）研究方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。社区视角：由非裔美国男性领导的社区组织在推进健康公平研究中所起的作用得到认可的情况很少见。我们提供PB这个将非裔美国男性纳入研究的典范的社区视角。PB已得到美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）及其他机构的全国认可，这表明它们在推动将非裔美国男性纳入研究的各个方面有着全国性的影响力。我们希望证明非裔美国男性参与研究既重要又可行，并突出PB作为让非裔美国男性参与研究的全国典范。
