背景技术背景：美国国立卫生研究院资助的临床和转化科学奖（CTSA）越来越关注社区参与的研究，并资助社区参与性研究（CBPR）的研究人员。然而，由于CBPR是一个合作过程，专注于社区确定的研究课题，哈佛CTSA及其社区咨询委员会（CERAB）通过CBPR倡议资助社区合作伙伴。注意：我们描述了从旨在刺激社区学术CBPR伙伴关系的种子赠款倡议中吸取的经验教训。哈佛CTSA和CERAB的CBPR计划制定了这一举措，每一轮都将参与者和咨询反馈纳入计划改进。虽然这一举措促进了相关的和创新的研究，挑战包括变量社区研究准备，项目时间不足，并难以确定新的partnerships.CONCLUSION调查：种子赠款可以促进创新的CBPR项目。类似的举措应考虑对社区研究准备情况的初步评估以及有意义的学术研究人员参与战略。
BACKGROUND: The National Institutes of Health-funded Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) have increasingly focused on community-engaged research and funded investigators for community-based participatory research (CBPR). However, because CBPR is a collaborative process focused on community-identified research topics, the Harvard CTSA and its Community Advisory Board (CERAB) funded community partners through a CBPR initiative.OBJECTIVES: We describe lessons learned from this seed grants initiative designed to stimulate community-academic CBPR partnerships.METHODS: The CBPR program of the Harvard CTSA and the CERAB developed this initiative and each round incorporated participant and advisory feedback toward program improvement.LESSONS LEARNED: Although this initiative facilitated relevant and innovative research, challenges included variable community research readiness, insufficient project time, and difficulties identifying investigators for new partnerships.CONCLUSION: Seed grants can foster innovative CBPR projects. Similar initiatives should consider preliminary assessments of community research readiness as well as strategies for meaningful academic researcher engagement.
