Community-based organizations (CBOs) play a critical role in improving conditions within marginalized communities for health equity. However, stronger organizational capacity within CBOs is needed to develop sustainable public health equity efforts. One strategy that can support sustainable health equity efforts from CBOs in marginalized communities is the use of community-academic partnerships (CAPs)-partnerships extending beyond academic boundaries to translational research in real-world settings. This dissertation project examines the CAP structure of the Flint Center for Health Equity Solutions (FCHES), which is a collaborative, transdisciplinary research center focused on improving public health equity for Flint, Michigan. Using a longitudinal, sequential mixed methods design, the study sought to examine facilitating and hindering factors to CAP collaborations, elicit partner perspectives about and experiences with the collaboration, and compare changes in the overall network structure over time (1 year apart). While unintended, the study had the unique opportunity to also explore how a fluctuating environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic influenced partnerships (e.g., ties) and network outcomes over time. Exploratory social network analysis (SNA) examined the overall network structure, partner connectivity embedded in the network, position of partners, and quality of relationships. Semi-structured interviews were used to expand on the quantitative data and contextualize responses, including obtaining rich details on: (a) perspectives on the collaboration process; (b) barriers and facilitators; (c) motivations for joining and for continuing to participate; (d) goals; and (e) recommendations for improvement from the perspectives of partners and leaders. Understanding community and academic partner's perspectives on collaboration efforts and dynamics of their relationships is important to move health equity forward. The current dissertation project contributes to the literature on CAP perspectives by identifying facilitating and hindering factors to CAPs as well as examining how these change over time; identifying network outcomes, their changes over time, and how they vary by partner type, and motivational factors to participate and continue to participate with the CAP over time. The broader impact of this research builds on systems-level, ecological perspectives grounded in community psychology, emphasizing how networks of CAPs in public health within larger systems of historically marginalized communities can work collaboratively to better understand and resolve health disparities. A closer examination of motivating factors, as well as strengths and challenges that lead to collaboration outcomes can help develop strategies to strengthen partnership dynamics. Further, the study examined changes across two different time-points, allowing for a closer examination on how external influences from fluctuating environments (e.g., community contexts; COVID-19) may change a partnership over time. Results will be useful for stakeholders involved in CAPs interested in developing and improving collaborative approaches to public health that center community-based priorities. Findings ultimately highlight how community-based efforts are dynamic processes, intertwined with contexts related to community, resources, interpersonal connections, power, and equity.

Examine how your university can help solve the complex problems of your community Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have identified civic engagement and community partnership as critical themes for higher education. This unique book addresses past, present, and future models of university-community partnerships, COPC programs, wide-ranging social work partnerships that involve teaching, research, and social change, and innovative methods in the processes of civic engagement. The text recognizes the many professions, schools, and higher education institutions that contribute to advancing civic engagement through university-community partnerships. One important contribution this book makes to the literature of civic engagement is that it is the first publication that significantly highlights partnership contributions from schools of social work, which are rediscovering their community roots through these initiatives. University-Community Partnerships: Universities in Civic Engagement documents how universities are involved in creative individual, faculty, and program partnerships that help link campus and community-partnerships that are vital for teaching, research, and practice. Academics and practitioners discuss outreach initiatives, methods of engagement (with an emphasis on community organization), service learning and other teaching/learning methods, research models, participatory research, and “high-engagement” techniques used in university-community partnerships. The book includes case studies, historical studies, policy analysis, program evaluation, and curriculum development. University-Community Partnerships: Universities in Civic Engagement examines: the increasing civic engagement of institutions of higher education civic engagement projects involving urban nonprofit community-based organizations and neighborhood associations the developmental stages of a COPC partnership problems faced in evaluating COPC programs civic engagement based on teaching and learning how pre-tenure faculty can meet research, teaching, and service requirements through university-community partnerships developing an MSW program structured around a single concentration of community partnership how class, race, and organizational differences are barriers to equality in the civic engagement process University-Community Partnerships: Universities in Civic Engagement is one of the few available academic resources to address the importance of social work involvement in COPC programs. Social work educators, students, and practitioners, community organizers, urban planners, and anyone working in community development will find it invaluable in proving guidance for community problem solving, and creating opportunities for faculty, students, and community residents to learn from one another.

Community-Academic Partnerships for Early Childhood Health is the first in a seven-series volume that looks at participatory public health research studies conducted by scholar/community interdisciplinary teams. In this volume, academics work together with local practitioners in their communities to address childhood health risks of underserved populations and the social factors of health and life-long wellbeing for children at risk. The contributors present case studies that show how interdisciplinary community-based, scholarly research can increase the rigor of scientific research and improve data collection by assuring the validity of a study's design and allow for better data interpretation that is more in line with real-world experience.
