布法罗狼疮项目是一个社区与大学的合作伙伴关系，旨在调查暴露于当地废物场与狼疮和其他自身免疫性疾病高发病率之间的关联。该伙伴关系的主要成就是成功倡导了对该地点的遏制和清理。经过社区教育，社区建议的整治方案被采纳。此外，当当地儿童铅中毒测试计划被取消时，社区成员签署了一封致立法者的信，敦促他们更换资金，资金在一周内恢复。这表明协调一致的基于社区的能力建设工作可以如何影响卫生政策。
The Buffalo Lupus Project was a community-university partnership that investigated associations between exposure to a local waste site and high rates of lupus and other autoimmune diseases. The partnership’s major accomplishment was successful advocacy for containment and clean-up of the site. As a result of community education, the remediation plan suggested by the community was adopted. Additionally, when a local childhood lead poisoning testing program was canceled, community members signed a letter to legislators urging them to replace the funding, which was restored within one week. This demonstrated how coordinated community-based capacity-building efforts can influence health policy.
