This paper describes the history and components of the W. K. Kellogg Community Health Scholars Program (CHSP). From 1998 to 2007, CHSP trained 46 postdoctoral fellows to develop and enhance skills in working with communities and engage in community-based participatory research (CBPR).
The original goal of CHSP was to increase the number of faculty at health professional schools who possess the capacity to carry out CBPR and teaching; however, the goal of the program was revised to highlight the importance of having public health professionals in all professional settings with CBPR knowledge and expertise.
CHSP was a training program whose design and implementation exemplified the partnership principles at the core of the training it provided. An external participatory evaluation was conducted to strengthen the maturing program. Key program components included a National Advisory Committee, training sites, academic and community mentorship, and a structured Scholar Program Plan.
The CHSP has had an impact on academic institutions, community-based organizations (CBOs), policies relating to research funding and implementation, and professional organizations (e.g., founded the Community-Based Public Health Caucus of the American Public Health Association). As the result of the continued interaction of CHSP alumni and their academic and community mentors and partners, that which began as a training program evolved into much more. Although the CHSP as a discrete program came to an end in 2007, its principles and methods were sustained as it continued as the Community Track of the Kellogg Health Scholars Program in that year.
本文介绍了W.K.凯洛格社区健康学者项目（CHSP）的历史和组成部分。1998年至2007年期间，CHSP培训了46名博士后研究员，以培养和提高他们与社区合作的技能，并参与基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）。
CHSP的最初目标是增加健康专业学校中具备开展CBPR和教学能力的教师数量；然而，该项目的目标后来进行了修订，以突出在所有专业环境中拥有具备CBPR知识和专业技能的公共卫生专业人员的重要性。
CHSP是一个培训项目，其设计和实施体现了其所提供培训核心的伙伴关系原则。开展了一次外部参与性评估，以加强这个日趋成熟的项目。该项目的关键组成部分包括一个国家咨询委员会、培训地点、学术和社区指导以及一个结构化的学者项目计划。
CHSP对学术机构、社区组织（CBO）、与研究资金及实施相关的政策以及专业组织（例如，创立了美国公共卫生协会的基于社区的公共卫生核心小组）都产生了影响。由于CHSP校友与其学术和社区导师及合作伙伴的持续互动，最初作为一个培训项目的CHSP演变成了更多的内容。尽管CHSP作为一个独立项目于2007年结束，但其原则和方法在当年作为凯洛格健康学者项目的社区轨道得以延续。
