To describe the development stages of the Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention (CLASP) initiative of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer to support research, practice, and policy coalitions focused on cancer and chronic disease prevention in Canada.
Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention was implemented in 3 stages. This article describes Stage 1 that consisted of an online concept-mapping consultation process, 3 topic specific networking and consultation workshops, and 3 context-specific networking, coalition development, and planning meetings. These were all completed using a participatory engagement approach to encourage knowledge exchange across jurisdictions and sectors in Canada.
Toronto, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; Montreal, Québec; and Ottawa, Ontario.
More than 500 researchers, practitioners, and policy specialists were invited to take part in the first stage activities.
(1) Participant-identified high-priority opportunities for strategic collaboration; (2) Cross-jurisdictional and cross-sector representation; and (3) Participant feedback on the CLASP processes and activities.
Participants from Stage 1 activities were distributed across all provinces/territories; 3 jurisdictional levels; and research, practice, and policy sectors. Ninety priority opportunities for strategic collaboration were identified across all 3 workshops. Participants provided detailed feedback about transparency of the RFP (Request for Proposals) application process, support needed to level the playing field for potential applicants, and valuable suggestions for the adjudication process.
Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention engaged hundreds of research, practice, and policy experts across Canada focusing social-behavioral, clinical, and environmental and occupational opportunities for cancer and chronic disease prevention. Given the extent of expert and jurisdictional engagement, the substantial Partnership investment in a participatory engagement approach to RFP development and potential applicant response suggests that efforts to link cancer and chronic disease prevention efforts across jurisdictions and through research, practice, and policy collaboration may require this type of a priori investment in networking, communication, coordination, and collaboration.
描述加拿大癌症伙伴关系支持癌症和慢性病预防研究、实践和政策联盟的联盟行动与科学联系（CLASP）倡议的发展阶段。
联盟行动与科学联系分三个阶段实施。本文介绍了第一阶段，包括在线概念映射咨询过程、三个专题网络和咨询研讨会以及三个背景特定的网络、联盟发展和规划会议。所有这些都是通过参与式参与方法完成的，以鼓励加拿大各司法管辖区和部门之间的知识交流。
安大略省多伦多市、艾伯塔省卡尔加里市、魁北克省蒙特利尔市和安大略省渥太华市。
邀请了 500 多名研究人员、从业人员和政策专家参加第一阶段的活动。
（1）参与者确定的战略协作高优先级机会；（2）跨司法管辖区和跨部门的代表性；（3）参与者对 CLASP 流程和活动的反馈。
第一阶段活动的参与者分布在所有省份/地区；3 个司法管辖区级别；以及研究、实践和政策部门。三个研讨会共确定了 90 个战略协作的优先机会。参与者提供了有关建议书（RFP）申请过程透明度、为潜在申请人提供公平竞争环境所需支持以及评审过程有价值建议的详细反馈。
联盟行动与科学联系使数百名研究、实践和政策专家在加拿大各地参与，重点关注社会行为、临床以及环境和职业机会，以预防癌症和慢性病。鉴于专家和司法管辖区参与的程度，以及伙伴关系在参与式参与方法方面对 RFP 制定和潜在申请人回应的大量投资，表明在各司法管辖区之间以及通过研究、实践和政策合作联系癌症和慢性病预防工作可能需要这种事先在网络、沟通、协调和合作方面的投资。
