Abstract
The objective of the article is to underline the importance of community-based participatory research, which involves institutional researchers and community practitioners, in establishing local and regional research priorities in relation to HIV/AIDS. We describe an 11-month-long reflection process conducted by a research collective in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of northern Quebec. The significant results of the joint reflection and discussion process included: the development of local capacities for research and collective action, involving academics and practitioners; the valorization of participatory research; and the increased accessibility of research-based knowledge for community actors involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In contrast with more traditional research methods, the participatory approach situates the balance of power within a research collective that jointly determines, throughout the course of the project, the priorities that best reflect local needs for HIV/AIDS research. This initial process of discussion resulted also in the joint validation of a forthcoming grant application to be submitted to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

Résumé
L’objectif de l’article est de souligner l’importance de la recherche participative communautaire, impliquant des acteurs locaux et les chercheurs institutionnels, dans l’établissement des priorités de recherche locales et régionales en matière de VIH/SIDA. Les auteurs décrivent un processus de réflexion de 11 mois mené par un collectif de recherche dans la région de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue, dans le Nord du Québec. Parmi les résultats importants du processus de réflexion et de discussion conjoint, mentionnons : le développement des capacités locales de recherche et d’action collective, impliquant des universitaires et des praticiens; la valorisation de la recherche participative; et l’accessibilité accrue des connaissances issues de la recherche pour les acteurs communautaires impliqués dans la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA. Contrairement aux méthodes de recherche plus traditionnelles, l’approche participative situe le pouvoir au sein d’un collectif de recherche qui détermine conjointement, tout au long du projet, les priorités qui reflètent le mieux les besoins locaux en matière de recherche sur le VIH/SIDA. Ce processus initial de discussion a également abouti à la validation conjointe d’une prochaine demande de subvention qui sera soumise aux Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC).
