Strategic research partnerships between community-based professionals and academic researchers are increasingly recognized as a means of evolving evidence-based practice and policy directions in health services delivery. Many barriers impede collaboration, however, and information on how to successfully implement collaborative partnerships is scattered, leaving much to trial and error. This article describes the process of achieving a successful research partnership among community-based home care professionals and academic researchers during a 6-year period of collaboration. The case illustration portrays how to identify and motivate the right research partners, how to mobilize resources, how to sustain an effective partnership process during the lengthy time commitments required to complete research, and how to ensure the experience of return on investment of time, energy, and resources in the partnership process. As measured by the outcomes of their collaborative research experience, the authors conclude that the benefits of bridging town and gown greatly outweigh the challenges of research partnerships.
社区专业人员与学术研究人员之间的战略研究伙伴关系日益被视为在卫生服务提供中发展循证实践和政策方向的一种手段。然而，许多障碍阻碍了合作，而且关于如何成功实施合作性伙伴关系的信息分散，很多都要靠反复试验。本文描述了在为期6年的合作期间，社区居家护理专业人员与学术研究人员之间建立成功研究伙伴关系的过程。该案例说明了如何识别和激励合适的研究伙伴、如何调动资源、如何在完成研究所需的漫长时间投入中维持有效的伙伴关系过程，以及如何确保在伙伴关系过程中投入的时间、精力和资源获得回报。根据他们合作研究经历的成果来衡量，作者得出结论，弥合城乡差距的好处远远超过研究伙伴关系带来的挑战。
