跨学科研究（TDR）方法被认为是克服当前世界面临的棘手的可持续性挑战的关键，包括空气污染、水管理和气候变化。然而，这种方法在实践中可能难以实施，因此可能无法增加价值。因此，哪些在实践中有效（哪些无效）的例子有助于指导未来的研究。在本研究中，我们使用概念性TDR框架作为基础，在肯尼亚内罗毕一个非正式住区空气污染研究项目中检查和评估我们方法的优缺点。项目团队（包括学术和社区合作伙伴）在整个项目的多个时间点进行了反思日记，探索参与项目的经验。这些反思日志起到了重要的评价作用，为团队学习提供了空间。日记按照TDR框架进行主题编码，以探索项目中运作良好的方面和面临挑战的领域。我们根据我们的反思和现有文献，为今后开展TDR项目的研究人员提出切实可行的建议。建议侧重于三个关键项目阶段（资助前、资助期、资助后），包括：以一种包括所有相关和适当角色的关键干系人的方式构建团队，给每个人足够的时间在项目上工作，并确保定期和开放的沟通。将这些建议纳入跨学科可持续发展科学项目的设计和交付中，将有助于实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）。在线版本包含补充材料，可在10.1007/s11625-023-01317-0获得。
Transdisciplinary research (TDR) approaches have been cited as essential for overcoming the intractable sustainability challenges that the world is currently facing, including air pollution, water management and climate change. However, such approaches can be difficult to undertake in practice and can consequently fail to add value. Therefore, examples of what works in practice (and what does not) are helpful to guide future research. In this study, we used a conceptual TDR framework as the basis to examine and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of our approach in a project exploring air pollution in an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. Reflection diaries exploring experiences of participation in the project were undertaken by the project team (comprising academic and community partners) at multiple time points throughout the project. These reflection diaries played an important role in evaluation and for providing space for team learning. Diaries were thematically coded according to the TDR framework to explore aspects of the project that worked well, and areas which presented challenges. We draw upon our reflections, and the extant literature, to make practical recommendations for researchers undertaking TDR projects in future. Recommendations focus on three key project stages (pre-funding, funded period, post-funding) and include; building the team in a way that includes all key stakeholders in relevant and appropriate roles, giving everyone sufficient time to work on the project, and ensuring regular and open communication. Building these recommendations into the design and delivery of transdisciplinary sustainability science projects will support progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
