西雅图合作伙伴是由疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）资助的城市研究中心（URC），是社区机构代表，社区活动家，公共卫生专业人员，学者和医疗保健提供者的合作伙伴关系，其使命是通过开展基于社区的参与性研究来改善西雅图，华盛顿城市社区的健康。本文介绍了西雅图合作伙伴的发展和特点。评估人员主要使用定性方法，包括定期深入访谈，确定了西雅图合作伙伴保持合作并建立由社区利益驱动的研究中心所需的组成部分。西雅图合作伙伴是由一个不受限制的和包容性的董事会，花了5年的时间开发运营结构和各种研究干预。该委员会根据社区合作原则开展工作，将健康的社会决定因素确定为优先工作领域。合作，“小而具体”的成就，熟练的个人和资助者的支持直接影响中心的成功。决策、项目选择和董事会组成都是需要克服的挑战。随着西雅图合作伙伴的成熟，学习如何做和维持工作是一个教训。
Seattle Partners, an Urban Research Center (URC) funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a partnership of community agency representatives, community activists, public health professionals, academics, and health care providers whose mission is to improve the health of urban Seattle, Washington, communities by conducting community-based participatory research. This article describes the development and characteristics of Seattle Partners. Using primarily qualitative methods, including periodic in-depth interviews, evaluators identified the components necessary for Seattle Partners to maintain a collaborative and establish a research center driven by community interests. Seattle Partners is run by an unrestricted and inclusive board that has spent 5 years developing both an operating structure and various research interventions. Operating under Community Collaboration Principles, the board identified social determinants of health as the priority area in which to work. Collaboration, "small and concrete" accomplishments, skilled individuals, and funder support directly influence the success of the center. Decision making, project selection, and board composition have all been challenges to work through. Learning how to do and sustain the work are lessons being learned as Seattle Partners matures.
