AB  - This paper details U.S. Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) 
      Community Engagement Cores (CECs): (1) unique and cross-cutting components, focus 
      areas, specific aims, and target populations; and (2) approaches utilized to 
      build or sustain trust towards community participation in research. A 
      mixed-method data collection approach was employed for this cross-sectional study 
      of current or previously funded RCMIs. A total of 18 of the 25 institutions 
      spanning 13 U.S. states and territories participated. CEC specific aims were to 
      support community engaged research (94%); to translate and disseminate research 
      findings (88%); to develop partnerships (82%); and to build capacity around 
      community research (71%). Four open-ended questions, qualitative analysis, and 
      comparison of the categories led to the emergence of two supporting themes: (1) 
      establishing trust between the community-academic collaborators and within the 
      community and (2) building collaborative relationships. An overarching theme, 
      building community together through trust and meaningful collaborations, emerged 
      from the supporting themes and subthemes. The RCMI institutions and their CECs 
      serve as models to circumvent the historical and current challenges to research 
      in communities disproportionately affected by health disparities. Lessons learned 
      from these cores may help other institutions who want to build community trust in 
      and capacities for research that addresses community-related health concerns.
