In health research, investigators and funders are emphasizing the importance of collaboration between communities and academic institutions to achieve health equity. Although the principles underlying community-academic partnered research have been well-articulated, the processes by which partnerships integrate these principles when working across cultural differences are not as well described.
We present how Project GRACE (Growing, Reaching, Advocating for Change and Empowerment) integrated participatory research principles with the process of building individual and partnership capacity.
We worked with Vigorous Interventions In Ongoing Natural Settings (VISIONS) Inc., a process consultant and training organization, to develop a capacity building model. We present the conceptual framework and multicultural process of change (MPOC) that was used to build individual and partnership capacity to address health disparities.
The process and capacity building model provides a common language, approach, and toolset to understand differences and the dynamics of inequity. These tools can be used by other partnerships in the conduct of research to achieve health equity.
在健康研究中，研究者和资助者都强调社区与学术机构之间合作对于实现健康公平的重要性。尽管社区 - 学术合作研究的基本原则已得到充分阐述，但当跨文化差异开展合作时，合作关系整合这些原则的过程却没有得到很好的描述。
我们展示“GRACE项目”（成长、拓展、倡导变革与赋权）如何将参与式研究原则与建立个人及合作关系能力的过程相结合。
我们与“持续自然环境中的有力干预”（VISIONS）公司合作，该公司是一家流程咨询和培训组织，共同开发了一个能力建设模型。我们展示了用于建立个人及合作关系能力以解决健康差距问题的概念框架和多元文化变革过程（MPOC）。
该过程和能力建设模型提供了一种通用语言、方法和工具集，以理解差异和不平等的动态。这些工具可被其他合作关系用于开展研究以实现健康公平。
