背景：大学管理的研究模式（UMRM）中社区团体和学者之间的合作有时会对社区产生负面影响，而社区拥有和管理的研究（COMR）可以确保合作仍然致力于解决环境不公正问题。方法：项目汇合利用UMRM的好处（即，获得研究补助金、跨学科联网），以支持COMR项目的设计。我们以Project Confluence作为案例研究，探讨参与者在这个混合研究模式项目中的经验。在本文中，我们详细介绍了Project Confluence中采取的迭代步骤，以促进应对环境正义挑战所需的协作流程。然后，我们反映了参与者的反馈，通过定性数据分析12 semi-structured interviews. Results：参与者的反馈可以分为三个主题：灵活性与结构，面对面与虚拟互动，团队间的连接。与会者认为，灵活性本身也带来挑战，希望有更多的结构来指导活动。他们还一致认为，虽然在大流行期间有必要举行虚拟会议，但如果他们亲自出席，合作将更加成功。最后，他们喜欢在UMRM的保护伞下，但想“看看合作如何合作”。结论：对于混合研究模型的未来部署，我们建议UMRM伞提供更多的结构周围的合作机制，但要适应社区团体的需求，导致COMR。此外，虽然中国海洋资源管理委员会可以在线组织，但我们建议UMRM会议亲自举行，以促进更好的团队间协作和支持。
Background:Collaborations between community groups and academics within a university-managed research model (UMRM) can sometimes negatively impact a community, whereas community-owned and -managed research (COMR) can ensure collaborations remain committed to addressing issues of environmental injustice.Methods:Project Confluence leveraged the benefits of UMRM (i.e., access to research grants, interdisciplinary networking) to support the design of COMR projects. We take Project Confluence as a case study to explore the experiences of participants within this hybrid research model project. In this article, we detail iterative steps taken in Project Confluence to facilitate collaborative processes needed to address environmental justice challenges. We then reflect on participants' feedback on this hybrid research model through qualitative data analysis of 12 semistructured interviews.Results:Participants' feedback can be grouped into three main themes: flexibility versus structure, face-to-face versus virtual interaction, and interteam connections. Participants argued that flexibility presented its own challenges and hoped for more structure to guide the activities. They also agreed that while virtual meetings were necessary during the pandemic, the collaboration would be more successful if they were in person. Finally, they enjoyed being within an UMRM umbrella, but wanted to “see how collaborations could collaborate.”Conclusion:For future deployment of hybrid research models, we suggest that the UMRM umbrellas provide more structure around the mechanics of collaboration, but be adaptive to the needs of the community groups that lead the COMRs. In addition, although COMRs can organize online, we suggest UMRM meetings take place in person to facilitate better interteam collaboration and support.
