背景资料：国家在转化研究的增长增加了对实用工具的需求，以提高学术机构如何参与社区research.Methods：一个使用的科罗拉多临床和转化科学研究所（CCTSI），以针对投资于社区为基础的健康差异的转化研究是一个社区参与（CE）试点赠款计划。该计划在设计上具有创新性，接受社区或学术申请人的建议，要求至少一半的申请资金用于社区合作伙伴，并提供两种资金渠道：一种是发展新的社区-学术合作伙伴关系（最高10，000美元），另一个通过社区转化研究项目加强现有的伙伴关系结果和结论：我们在传统和能力建设指标方面都看到了早期的成功：我们第一个周期的初始投资为272，742美元，导致额外赠款超过280万美元，受赠者报告说，他们的社区-学术伙伴关系的能力以及他们的研究的严谨性和相关性得到了加强。
Background: National growth in translational research has increased the need for practical tools to improve how academic institutions engage communities in research.Methods: One used by the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI) to target investments in community-based translational research on health disparities is a Community Engagement (CE) Pilot Grants program. Innovative in design, the program accepts proposals from either community or academic applicants, requires that at least half of requested grant funds go to the community partner, and offers two funding tracks: One to develop new community-academic partnerships (up to $10,000), the other to strengthen existing partnerships through community translational research projects (up to $30,000).Results and Conclusion: We have seen early success in both traditional and capacity building metrics: the initial investment of $272,742 in our first cycle led to over $2.8 million dollars in additional grant funding, with grantees reporting strengthening capacity of their community-academic partnerships and the rigor and relevance of their research.
