BACKGROUND Although studies have described the power imbalance in academic-community partnerships, little has been published describing how community-based participatory research-informed practitioners can change academic institutions to promote more effective community-engaged research. OBJECTIVES This paper describes a university-funded community-based participatory project in which academic researchers and their community partners worked together to articulate, develop and advocate for institutionalizing best practices for equitable partnerships throughout the university. METHODS Findings derive from a collaborative ethnographic process evaluation. RESULTS The study describes the integral steps proposed to promote equitable community-university research collaboration, the process by which these principles and best practice recommendations were developed, and the institutional change outcomes of this process. CONCLUSIONS When universities make even small investments toward promoting and nurturing community-engaged research, the quality of the science can be enhanced to advance health equity and community-university relationships can improve, particularly if based on trust, mutual respect, and openness to accomplish a shared vision.

在学术机构中将社区参与的转化科学制度化：社区利益相关者驱动的过程。

背景虽然研究描述了学术界与社区伙伴关系中的权力不平衡，但很少有出版物描述基于社区的参与性研究知情从业者如何改变学术机构以促进更有效的社区参与研究。目标 本文描述了一个由大学资助的基于社区的参与项目，在该项目中，学术研究人员及其社区合作伙伴共同努力阐明、开发和倡导将整个大学的公平伙伴关系的最佳实践制度化。方法 研究结果来自协作民族志过程评估。结果 该研究描述了为促进公平的社区与大学研究合作而提出的整体步骤、制定这些原则和最佳实践建议的过程以及该过程的制度变革结果。结论 当大学为促进和培育社区参与的研究进行哪怕很小的投资时，就可以提高科学质量，以促进健康公平，并且可以改善社区与大学的关系，特别是如果基于信任、相互尊重和开放来实现共同的愿景。
