Abstract

We propose the core collaborative community science framework, an original conceptual framework that integrates and modifies best practices from community science and collective impact groups to support investigations of environmental health and justice. The core collaborative community science framework differs from more typical frameworks for community science, which often frame projects as static and either scientist or community led; these framings can limit the potential for co-production and action-oriented models of science. Frameworks are lacking to help community science collaborators determine the contributions and leadership needed to initiate, sustain, and link together multiple projects that jointly support local learning and action, as well as contribute to broader scientific knowledge of complex social-ecological systems. The core collaborative community science framework offers three main innovations and contributions: (1) It invests in a core collaborative group structure, designed to increase community capacity and resilience through an expanded network of partners dedicated to the reduction of systematic inequities and injustices; (2) It seeds and supports multiple, diverse research projects implemented across complex social-ecological systems, focusing first on community-identified needs, and then on the questions community science can help answer; and (3) It facilitates dynamic shared responsibilities and leadership for partners from community, research, and government institutions, recognizing the need for shared contributions at all project phases. We offer examples from the Green Duwamish Learning Landscape in Washington, USA to show how project partners have coordinated their work focused on social, ecological, and human health and navigated challenges related to funding, staffing, and governance. We share insights on how to help integrate community science within the social fabric of communities, especially those faced with environmental health and justice challenges.

将集体影响与社区科学结合起来：核心合作社区科学框架

我们提出了社区科学核心合作框架，这是一个独创的概念框架，它整合并修改了社区科学和集体影响团体的最佳实践，以支持环境健康和正义调查。社区科学核心合作框架不同于更典型的社区科学框架，后者通常将项目设定为静态的、由科学家或社区主导的项目；这些框架可能会限制共同生产和以行动为导向的科学模式的潜力。这些框架可能会限制共同生产和以行动为导向的科学模式的潜力。框架的缺乏是为了帮助社区科学合作者确定启动、维持和连接多个项目所需的贡献和领导力，这些项目共同支持当地的学习和行动，并为复杂的社会生态系统提供更广泛的科学知识。社区科学核心合作框架有三大创新和贡献：(1) 它投资于一个核心合作小组结构，旨在通过扩大致力于减少系统性不公平和不公正现象的合作伙伴网络，提高社区能力和复原力；(2) 它在复杂的社会生态系统中播种并支持实施多个不同的研究项目，首先关注社区确定的需求，然后关注社区科学可以帮助回答的问题；(3) 它促进来自社区、研究和政府机构的合作伙伴动态分担责任和领导力，认识到在所有项目阶段共同做出贡献的必要性。我们以美国华盛顿州的绿色杜瓦米什学习景观为例，说明项目合作伙伴如何协调他们的工作，重点关注社会、生态和人类健康，以及如何应对与资金、人员配备和管理相关的挑战。我们分享了关于如何帮助将社区科学融入社区社会结构的见解，尤其是那些面临环境健康和正义挑战的社区。

期刊介绍： Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
