背景：基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)在整个研究过程中致力于社区和学术伙伴之间的平等合作。为了培养学术界作为社区有效研究伙伴的能力，北卡罗来纳翻译和临床科学研究所(北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校颁发S临床和翻译科学奖)开发了一种社区参与咨询模式：这种新模式利用具有CBPR经验的社区合作伙伴的专业知识，并公平地补偿他们，为社区-学术研究合作伙伴提供技术援助。目的：描述评估社区专业知识的方法，公平补偿社区合作伙伴的重要性，对社区合作伙伴的影响，机构变革的机会，以及模型实施中面临的约束。方法：社区专家(CES)是独立的承包商顾问。对企业高管进行了访谈，以评估他们对工作参与度和薪酬的满意度。课程了解到：(1)企业高管具备推动制度变革的知识、能力和信誉。(2)大学内部需要进行改革，以促进就社区-学术伙伴关系进行成功的磋商。(3)维持行政长官的角色需要工作人员的支持、持续的薪酬、更多的参与机会，以及仔细考虑职位需求。(4)这一角色提供了经济补偿以外的好处。(5)在伙伴关系中收集深化关系的机会，并建立加强项目的集体知识。结论：利用行政长官的专业知识并补偿他们的作用，对大学和社区都有好处。在学术界内为社区专业知识创造一个场所，是朝着公平地将社区纳入研究领域迈出的重要一步。
Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) strives for equitable collaboration among community and academic partners throughout the research process. To build the capacity of academia to function as effective research partners with communities, the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS), home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH)'s Clinical and Translational Sciences Award (CTSA), developed a community engagement consulting model:this new model harnesses the expertise of community partners with CBPR experience and compensates them equitably to provide technical assistance to community-academic research partnerships.Objectives: This paper describes approaches to valuing community expertise, the importance of equitable compensation for community partners, the impact on the community partners, opportunities for institutional change, and the constraints faced in model implementation.Methods: Community Experts (CEs) are independent contractor consultants. CEs were interviewed to evaluate their satisfaction with their engagement and compensation for their work.Lessons Learned: (1) CEs have knowledge, power, and credibility to push for systems change. (2) Changes were needed within the university to facilitate successful consultation to community-academic partnerships. (3) Sustaining the CE role requires staff support, continued compensation, increased opportunities for engagement, and careful consideration of position demands. (4) The role provides benefits beyond financial compensation. (5) Opportunities to gather deepened relationships within the partnership and built collective knowledge that strengthened the project.Conclusions: Leveraging CE expertise and compensating them for their role benefits both university and community. Creating a place for community expertise within academia is an important step toward equitably including the community in research.
