OBJECTIVES
We systematically reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Environmental Research's (NCER's) requests for applications (RFAs) and identified strategies that NCER and other funders can take to bolster community engagement.
METHODS
We queried NCER's publically available online archive of funding opportunities from fiscal years 1997 to 2013. From an initial list of 211 RFAs that met our inclusion criteria, 33 discussed or incorporated elements of community engagement. We examined these RFAs along 6 dimensions and the degree of alignments between them.
RESULTS
We found changes over time in the number of RFAs that included community engagement, variations in how community engagement is defined and expected, inconsistencies between application requirements and peer review criteria, and the inclusion of mechanisms supporting community engagement in research.
CONCLUSIONS
The results inform a systematic approach to developing RFAs that support community engagement in research.
目标
我们系统地回顾了美国环境保护局国家环境研究中心（NCER）的申请要求（RFAs），并确定了NCER和其他资助者可以采取的加强社区参与的策略。
方法
我们查询了NCER从1997财年到2013财年公开的在线资助机会档案。在最初符合我们纳入标准的211份RFA列表中，有33份讨论或纳入了社区参与要素。我们从6个维度对这些RFA进行了审查，并考察了它们之间的契合程度。
结果
我们发现，包含社区参与的RFA数量随时间变化，社区参与的定义和期望存在差异，申请要求与同行评审标准之间存在不一致，以及在研究中纳入了支持社区参与的机制。
结论
研究结果为制定支持社区参与研究的RFA提供了一种系统方法。
