Workshop: New Models for Reducing Barriers between Researchers and Communities, April 8-9, 2010, University of Houston.

基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）是典型的不相容群体（例如，研究人员及其学术机构与社区领导人、政治家及其社区）。由于各种原因，很难维持下去，其中最重要的是大多数研究人员的培训和管理人类研究的法规都是基于自上而下的模型，在这种模型中，研究是在某人或某个社区上进行的，而不是与某人或某个社区合作。然而，CBPR是将基础研究转化为社会有益项目的最有效途径之一。随着CBPR获得了科学意义，科学机构才开始开发减少成功CBPR障碍的模型。本次研讨会以综合的方式审查这些模型。它探讨了新的利益相关者配置，指导方针，技术，文化考虑因素和资金安排，承诺克服障碍，使CBPR更富有成效和鲁棒性。本次研讨会是在休斯顿大学举行的CBPR年度全国会议系列中的第二次。本次研讨会和后续研讨会的智力价值在于将创建的研究伙伴关系，以推进基础和应用研究，因为它从实验室到社区的移动。如果没有精心设计的伙伴关系，使所有利益相关者都参与到真正的合作关系中，以社区为中心的研究往往无法提供预期的产品：有效的研究和社区接受并受益于新的研究思想的应用的意愿。更广泛的影响是直接的好处，通常没有发现在更传统的研究方法，不同的社区，在设计和应用各种研究干预措施的共享。

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a delicate set of collaborative relationships between typically incompatible groups (e.g., researchers and their academic institutions versus community leaders, politicians, and their communities). It is difficult to sustain for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that most researcher training and regulations governing human research are based on a top-down model in which the research is done on, not collaboratively with, someone or some community. Yet CBPR is one of the most effective ways to translate basic research into socially beneficial programs. As CBPR has gained scientific significance, the scientific establishment has only begun to develop models for reducing the barriers to successful CBPR. This workshop examines these models in an integrative way. It explores new stakeholder configurations, guidelines, technologies, cultural considerations, and funding arrangements that promise to overcome barriers and render CBPR more productive and robust.This workshop is the second in a series of annual national gatherings on CBPR at the University of Houston. The intellectual merit of this and subsequent workshops resides in the research partnerships that will be created to advance basic and applied research as it moves from the lab to the community. Without carefully crafted partnerships that involve all stakeholders in a truly collaborative relationship, community-focused research tends to fail to deliver the intended products: valid research and willingness of the community to embrace and benefit from the application of the new research based ideas.Broader Implications. The broader implications are the direct benefits, not normally found in more traditional research approaches, to diverse communities that share in the design and application of various research interventions.
