The purpose of this paper is to describe the process used to initiate research capacity building in a community of practice (CoP) focused on the research and evaluation of inter-professional education and collaboration. This CoP, composed of members from across Canada, is a committee of the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC), a national collaborative that aims to advance inter-professional education and collaboration in healthcare. The committee mapped recommendations that emerged from a number of CIHC reports onto a research capacity building framework. The expertise of the diverse members in conjunction with this unique mapping process allowed the committee to identify its long-term research and evaluation objectives and strategies. This resulted in the formation of three working groups, each tasked with activities that contribute to the committee's overall goal of building research capacity in inter-professional education and collaboration. A framework provides a structured approach to identifying research and evaluation priorities and objectives. Furthermore, the process of applying the framework engages the committee members in determining the course of action. The process can be easily transferred to other areas in need of research capacity building.
本文的目的是描述在一个专注于跨专业教育与协作研究及评估的实践社区（CoP）中启动研究能力建设所采用的过程。这个实践社区由来自加拿大各地的成员组成，是加拿大跨专业健康协作组织（CIHC）的一个委员会，CIHC是一个旨在推进医疗保健领域跨专业教育与协作的全国性协作组织。该委员会将CIHC的一些报告中提出的建议映射到一个研究能力建设框架上。不同成员的专业知识与这一独特的映射过程相结合，使委员会能够确定其长期的研究和评估目标及策略。这导致了三个工作组的形成，每个工作组都负责开展有助于实现委员会在跨专业教育与协作方面建设研究能力这一总体目标的活动。一个框架提供了一种确定研究和评估重点及目标的结构化方法。此外，应用该框架的过程促使委员会成员确定行动方针。这个过程可以很容易地转移到其他需要进行研究能力建设的领域。
