Health disparities continue to persist among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities.
This study sought to understand the perspectives of community organizations in the Ulu Network on how researchers can collaborate with communities to promote community wellness.
Key informant interviews and small group interviews were conducted with the leadership in the Ulu Network.
Five themes were identified that highlight the importance of investing time and commitment to build authentic relationships, understanding the diversity and unique differences across Pacific communities, ensuring that communities receive direct and meaningful benefits, understanding the organizational capacity, and initiating the dialog early to ensure that community perspectives are integrated in every stage of research.
Increasing capacity of researchers, as well as community organizations, can help build toward a more equitable and meaningful partnership to enhance community wellness.
夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民（NHPI）社区中健康差距问题依然存在。
本研究旨在了解乌鲁网络中社区组织对于研究人员如何与社区合作以促进社区健康的看法。
对乌鲁网络的领导层进行了关键信息提供者访谈和小组访谈。
确定了五个主题，突出了投入时间和精力建立真实关系、理解太平洋社区的多样性和独特差异、确保社区获得直接且有意义的益处、了解组织能力以及尽早开展对话以确保社区观点融入研究各个阶段的重要性。
提高研究人员以及社区组织的能力有助于建立更公平、更有意义的伙伴关系，以促进社区健康。
