Conducting and/or disseminating research together with community stakeholders (e.g. policy-makers, practitioners, community organisations, patients) is a promising approach to generating relevant and impactful research. However, creating strong and successful partnerships between researchers and stakeholders is complex. Thus far, an in-depth understanding of how, when and why these research partnerships are successful is lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate and explain the outcomes and impacts of a national network of researchers and community stakeholders over time in order to gain a better understanding of how, when and why research partnerships are successful (or not).
This longitudinal multiple case study will use data from the Canadian Disability Participation Project, a large national network of researchers and community stakeholders working together to enhance community participation among people with physical disabilities. To maximise the impact of research conducted within the Canadian Disability Participation Project network, researchers are supported in developing and implementing knowledge translation plans. The components of the RE-AIM framework (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance) will guide this study. Data will be collected from different perspectives (researchers, stakeholders) using different methods (logs, surveys, timeline interviews) at different time points during the years 2018-2021. A combination of data analysis methods, including network analysis and cluster analysis, will be used to study the RE-AIM components. Qualitative data will be used to supplement the findings and further understand the variation in the RE-AIM components over time and across groups.
The outcomes, impacts and processes of conducting and disseminating research together with community stakeholders will be extensively studied. The longitudinal design of this study will provide a unique opportunity to examine research partnerships over time and understand the underlying processes using a variety of innovative research methods (e.g. network analyses, timeline interviews). This study will contribute to opening the 'black box' of doing successful and impactful health research in partnership with community stakeholders.

与社区利益相关者（如政策制定者、从业者、社区组织、患者）共同开展和/或传播研究是生成相关且有影响力的研究的一种有前景的方法。然而，研究人员和利益相关者之间建立强大而成功的伙伴关系是复杂的。迄今为止，人们对这些研究伙伴关系何时、为何以及如何成功缺乏深入了解。本研究旨在评估和解释一个国家范围内的研究人员和社区利益相关者网络随着时间的推移的结果和影响，以便更好地了解研究伙伴关系何时、为何以及如何成功（或失败）。
本纵向多案例研究将使用加拿大残疾参与项目的数据，该项目是一个由研究人员和社区利益相关者组成的大型国家网络，旨在增强身体残疾者的社区参与度。为了最大限度地提高加拿大残疾参与项目网络内开展的研究的影响力，研究人员得到支持以制定和实施知识转化计划。RE-AIM 框架（覆盖范围、效果、采用、实施和维持）的组成部分将指导本研究。将从不同的角度（研究人员、利益相关者）使用不同的方法（日志、调查、时间线访谈）在 2018-2021 年期间的不同时间点收集数据。将使用多种数据分析方法（包括网络分析和聚类分析）来研究 RE-AIM 组成部分。定性数据将用于补充研究结果，并进一步了解随时间和跨群体的 RE-AIM 组成部分的变化。
将广泛研究与社区利益相关者共同开展和传播研究的结果、影响和过程。本研究的纵向设计将提供一个独特的机会，随着时间的推移检查研究伙伴关系，并使用各种创新的研究方法（例如网络分析、时间线访谈）了解潜在过程。这项研究将有助于揭开与社区利益相关者合作开展成功且有影响力的健康研究的“黑箱”。
