In 2007, the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) at the University of Michigan received a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). Within MICHR, the Community Engagement (CE) program supports partnership efforts between researchers, practitioners, and community-based organizations in specific focal communities throughout Michigan. A key component of the CE program is the Community Engagement Coordinating Council, a group that provides input and guidance on program priorities, strategic planning, and reviews pilot funding proposals for community-academic partnerships. This paper will describe a unique MICHR pilot funding mechanism for Community-University Research Partnerships (CURES) with an emphasis on the ways that community partners are involved in the review process, as well as the benefits, challenges, and insights gained over 5 years of pilot review. There is a growing need for community involvement and expertise in review of funding proposals for community-engaged research at both institutional and federal levels. The CURES pilot review process is one example of an institutional effort to engage community partners in university funding decisions and has demonstrated clear benefit toward accomplishing the aims of the CTSA.
2007 年，密歇根大学的密歇根临床与健康研究所以及临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）而闻名。在 MICHR 内部，社区参与（CE）项目支持研究人员、从业者和密歇根特定重点社区的社区组织之间的合作努力。CE 项目的一个关键组成部分是社区参与协调委员会，该委员会为项目重点、战略规划提供投入和指导，并对社区学术伙伴关系的试点资金提案进行审查。本文将描述一种独特的 MICHR 试点资金机制，用于社区大学研究伙伴关系（CURES），重点介绍社区合作伙伴参与审查过程的方式，以及在 5 年试点审查中获得的益处、挑战和见解。在机构和联邦层面，对社区参与式研究的资助提案进行审查需要越来越多的社区参与和专业知识。CURES 试点审查过程是机构努力让社区合作伙伴参与大学资助决策的一个例子，并已证明有助于实现 CTSA 的目标。
