跨学科伙伴关系促进创新，以解决紧迫的社会问题。本文介绍了一个跨学科的伙伴关系称为芝加哥食品系统协作（CFSC）的合作伙伴组成的团队，来自四个学术机构和三个社区为基础的组织，代表了共八个学科，包括：社区发展和社区组织，社区心理学，地理学，护理，营养，公共卫生，社会学，城市规划和政策。合作伙伴走到一起，以解决获得健康食品和营养的问题，在工人阶级的非洲裔美国人社区。我们分析和讨论了指导伙伴关系的核心原则及其在三个方面的影响：通过跨学科行动研究，能力建设和促进实践和政策创新的理解。尽管跨学科伙伴关系面临挑战，但这种努力的潜在好处和影响反映了其作为解决复杂社会问题的综合办法的价值。
Interdisciplinary partnerships foster innovation to address pressing social problems. This paper describes an interdisciplinary partnership called the Chicago Food System Collaborative (CFSC) composed of a team of partners from four academic institutions and three community-based organizations representing a total of eight disciplines that included: community development and community organizing, community psychology, geography, nursing, nutrition, public health, sociology, and urban planning and policy. Partners came together to address the issue of access to healthy foods and nutrition in a working class African American neighborhood. We analyze and discuss the core principles that guided the partnership and its impact across three dimensions: understanding through interdisciplinary action research, building capacity, and facilitating innovations in practices and policies. Despite the challenges of interdisciplinary partnerships, the potential benefits and impact of such efforts reflect their value as a comprehensive approach to addressing complex social problems.
