Research partnerships: Tips & trips

Filmed and produced by MSFHR. Post-production by the Knowledge Mobilization Studio. Speaker titles and affiliations correct at time of filming.

When there is strong engagement between researchers and researcher users on a team, evidence is more likely to inform policy, practice and further research. We know that forging research collaborations between researchers and research users can be both rewarding and challenging. These videos offer a number of considerations for researchers and research users alike on how they can work more effectively with each other.
