We propose the core collaborative community science framework, an original conceptual framework that integrates and modifies best practices from community science and collective impact groups to support investigations of environmental health and justice. The core collaborative community science framework differs from more typical frameworks for community science, which often frame projects as static and either scientist or community led; these framings can limit the potential for co-production and action-oriented models of science. Frameworks are lacking to help community science collaborators determine the contributions and leadership needed to initiate, sustain, and link together multiple projects that jointly support local learning and action, as well as contribute to broader scientific knowledge of complex social-ecological systems. The core collaborative community science framework offers three main innovations and contributions: (1) It invests in a core collaborative group structure, designed to increase community capacity and resilience through an expanded network of partners dedicated to the reduction of systematic inequities and injustices; (2) It seeds and supports multiple, diverse research projects implemented across complex social-ecological systems, focusing first on community-identified needs, and then on the questions community science can help answer; and (3) It facilitates dynamic shared responsibilities and leadership for partners from community, research, and government institutions, recognizing the need for shared contributions at all project phases. We offer examples from the Green Duwamish Learning Landscape in Washington, USA to show how project partners have coordinated their work focused on social, ecological, and human health and navigated challenges related to funding, staffing, and governance. We share insights on how to help integrate community science within the social fabric of communities, especially those faced with environmental health and justice challenges.

我们提出了核心协作社区科学框架，这是一个原始的概念框架，整合和修改了社区科学和集体影响团体的最佳实践，以支持环境健康和正义的调查。核心协作社区科学框架不同于更典型的社区科学框架，后者通常将项目框架为静态且由科学家或社区主导；这些框架可能会限制共同生产和面向行动的科学模型的潜力。缺乏框架来帮助社区科学合作者确定启动、维持和连接多个项目所需的贡献和领导力，这些项目共同支持当地的学习和行动，并为复杂的社会生态系统提供更广泛的科学知识。核心协作社区科学框架提供了三个主要创新和贡献：（1）它投资于核心协作小组结构，旨在通过扩大致力于减少系统性不平等和不公正的合作伙伴网络来提高社区能力和复原力；(2) 它培育和支持在复杂的社会生态系统中实施的多个、多样化的研究项目，首先关注社区确定的需求，然后关注社区科学可以帮助回答的问题；(3) 它促进来自社区、研究和政府机构的合作伙伴动态分担责任和领导，认识到在所有项目阶段共同贡献的必要性。我们提供来自美国华盛顿绿色杜瓦米什学习景观的示例，展示项目合作伙伴如何协调其专注于社会、生态和人类健康的工作，并应对与资金、人员配置和治理相关的挑战。我们分享关于如何帮助将社区科学融入社区社会结构的见解，特别是那些面临环境健康和正义挑战的社区。
