Successful implementation research requires effective and equitable relationships between policy-makers, researchers and implementers to effect evidence-based systems change. However, mainstream research grant models between Global North and Global South institutions often (unintentionally) reinforce power imbalances between partners, which result in missed opportunities for knowledge and learning exchange between policy-makers, researchers and implementers.This case study, centred on the STRIVE PNG project, describes how a partnership-based approach has been used to establish, maintain and review effective and equitable relationships between 13 partner organizations (independent research institutes, government health agencies and public health laboratories) to strengthen surveillance and health systems in Papua New Guinea (PNG). We provide an overview of key terms (with supporting conceptual frameworks), describe selected partnership processes and tools used within the project, and share observations regarding early outcomes achieved through this approach.
成功实施研究需要政策制定者、研究人员和实施者之间建立有效和公平的关系，以实现基于证据的系统变革。然而，全球北方和全球南方机构之间的主流研究资助模式往往（无意中）加剧了合作伙伴之间的权力不平衡，导致政策制定者、研究人员和实施者之间错失了知识和学习交流的机会。本案例研究以 STRIVE PNG 项目为中心，描述了如何采用基于伙伴关系的方法，在 13 个合作伙伴组织（独立研究机构、政府卫生机构和公共卫生实验室）之间建立、维持和审查有效和公平的关系，以加强巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）的监测和卫生系统。我们提供了关键术语的概述（带有支持性的概念框架），描述了项目中使用的选定伙伴关系流程和工具，并分享了通过这种方法取得的早期成果的观察结果。
