学术日历和大学时间表为研究人员设定了紧迫的步伐，这可能会阻碍建立长期的社区伙伴关系。鉴于基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）强调社区主导的研究，时间限制可能会抑制学术研究人员对协作方法和参与式研究的承诺。本文探讨了CBPR如何适用于短期参与，同时仍然产生互利的研究。在这样做的时候，我们有助于现有的语料库快速评估方法，其特点是采用传统的方法，在较长的时间内较短的时间框架。我们回顾了在密歇根州弗林特市六个月的时间跨度内执行的CBPR项目的成功和局限性。在所讨论的情况下，照片语音使人们能够在CBPR框架内纳入各种不同的认知方式、横向伙伴关系、互惠学习和可访问的disemination格式。总之，我们认为短期CBPR是有价值的，特别是对于需要快速响应方法的紧急问题。然而，短期CBPR是一场冲刺，而不是马拉松;虽然持续时间较短，但强度更大。它要求在方法上作出重大承诺、灵活性和增加参与者的工作量。
Academic calendars and university timelines set an urgent pace for researchers, which can hinder the establishment of long-term community partnerships. Given community-based participatory research’s (CBPR) emphasis on community-led research, time constraints can inhibit academic researchers’ commitments to collaborative methodologies and participatory research. This article considers how CBPR can be adapted for shorter-term engagements while still producing mutually beneficial research. In doing so, we contribute to the existing corpus on rapid assessment methodologies, characterized for adopting methods traditionally practiced over a longer duration to shorter time frames. We review the successes and limitations of a CBPR project executed within the timespan of six months in Flint, Michigan. In the case discussed, photo-voice enabled the inclusion of diverse ways of knowing, horizontal partnerships, reciprocal learning, and an accessible disemmination format within a CBPR framework. In conclusion we assert that there is value in short-term CBPR, especially for emergent issues where there is a need for rapid, responsive methodologies. However, short-term CBPR is a sprint, rather than a marathon; although shorter in duration, it is more intensive. It requires significant methodological commitments, flexibility, and an intensified workload for those involved.
