与社区组织的伙伴关系为大学创造了更多的机会，以促进社区参与的研究，教学和服务。弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）的使命指出，该大学致力于“可持续的，大学与社区的伙伴关系，提高社区VCU服务的教育，经济和文化活力。“为了表彰其努力，VCU是少数被卡内基基金会指定为非常高的研究活动和社区参与的机构之一。它也是NIH资助的转化和科学中心奖的获得者，该奖项旨在促进社区参与的研究。在追求大学的目标，成为社区参与和区域影响的国家模式，社区参与（DCE）和规划和决策支持（OPDS）的部门-与来自整个大学的代表试图确定当前的社区大学的伙伴关系在2012-13。该团队开发了一个社区伙伴关系试点清单（PICP），以测试整个大学的数据收集过程。研究结果提出沿着的建议，以提高长期的能力来计算和描述大学的伙伴关系。(This这项工作与VCU卫生系统的类似试点计划并行，以确定和记录外展工作。这里提出的基线信息有助于实现大学一级倡议4战略，“定义和整理社区伙伴关系，并确定利用资产的措施。“收集的信息将为我们的VCU和卫生系统社区提供资源，以合作，在现有努力的基础上再接再厉，并找出差距。
Partnerships with community organizations create increased opportunities for universities to promote community-engaged research, teaching, and service. Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) mission states that the university is committed to "sustainable, university-community partnerships that enhance the educational, economic, and cultural vitality of the communities VCU serves." In recognition of its efforts, VCU is among a small number of institutions to be designated as very high research activity and communityengaged by the Carnegie Foundation. It is also a recipient of a NIH-funded Center for Translational and Sciences Award, which promotes community-engaged research. In pursuit of the university’s goal to become a national model for community engagement and regional impact, the Division of Community Engagement (DCE) and Office of Planning and Decision Support (OPDS) – with representatives from across the university sought to identify current community-university partnerships during 2012-13. The team developed a Pilot Inventory of Community Partnerships (PICP) to test a university-wide data collection process. The findings are presented along with recommendations for improving the long-term ability to count and describe the university’s partnerships. (This effort parallels the VCU Health System’s plans for a similar pilot to identify and document outreach efforts.) The resulting baseline information presented here helps to achieve the University Level Initiative 4 strategy, "Define and collate community partnerships and determine measures to leverage assets." The information gathered will provide a resource to our VCU and Health System communities to collaborate, build on existing efforts, and identify gaps.
