Community subcontracts are an essential component of community-engaged research, particularly community-based participatory research (CBPR). However, several barriers have limited community-based organizations’ ability to serve as subcontractors on research grants. This paper describes the barriers and strategies to implementing community subcontracts through a case study of the implementation of one federal grant. Specific lessons learned at the community-based organizational level, budget-creation level, and university-level are described to overcome barriers in executing community subcontracts in community-engaged research. We then conclude by making a call for institutional changes to facilitate equitable resource sharing in community-engaged research.
