Despite their documented benefits, the widespread adoption of community-engaged and participatory approaches among health researchers remains limited. Institutional practices and policies influence the uptake of community engagement and participatory approaches. We examine the role of financial arrangements between university researchers and community partners, by exploring efforts to bridge the gap between research administration and researchers at two research-intensive institutions. The type of financial arrangement a researcher has with a community partner plays an important role in setting the stage for the structure of the partnership as it relates to shared decision-making and ownership of the research. Continued efforts to clarify and streamline subcontracting processes are needed as is infrastructure to support community partners and researchers as they navigate financial arrangements if progress is to be made.
尽管已有文献证明社区参与和参与式方法具有诸多益处，但健康研究人员中广泛采用这些方法的情况仍然有限。机构实践和政策会影响社区参与和参与式方法的采用。我们通过探讨两所研究密集型机构为弥合研究管理部门与研究人员之间的差距所做的努力，来研究大学研究人员与社区伙伴之间财务安排的作用。研究人员与社区伙伴之间的财务安排类型，在为伙伴关系结构奠定基础方面发挥着重要作用，因为它涉及研究的共同决策和所有权。如果要取得进展，就需要持续努力澄清和简化分包流程，同时也需要基础设施来支持社区伙伴和研究人员应对财务安排。
