Take-Home Messages<br />
• “Splitting budgets in half” is too blunt a tool for the delicate work <strong>of</strong> building<br />
equal partnerships Exploring more nuanced mechanisms to balance<br />
power between community and academic partners is critical<br />
• Make no assumptions about the capabilities <strong>of</strong> the institution (university<br />
or CBO) or how it functions<br />
• University and CBO partners need to come to agreement on all processes<br />
and timetables that might be involved<br />
• Foster open communication with those affected to maintain organizational<br />
and personal credibility<br />

thus may be well suited to demonstrating how institutions can overcome competitive<br />
differences and work together for the good <strong>of</strong> their mutual communities<br />
