研究人员和从业人员通常是共生存在的，但这种关系并不总是对双方都有利。我们在这里讨论我们的组织在过去十年中发展起来的互惠互利的研究共生关系，我们在这个过程中经历的挑战，以及我们的经验如何帮助那些打算发展这种互惠关系的人。我们的模型的定义特征是，领导研究的是保护实施者，而不是研究人员。这种权力平衡促进了研究人员和从业者之间的协同作用，并导致了有史以来第一次保护干预的随机对照试验之一。我们缩短了基础研究和实地实践之间的距离，确保使用调查结果的人在设计和实施调查中发挥主导作用。当地的保护工作者接受了尖端科学方法的培训，而大学研究人员在设计保护和发展干预措施方面发挥了无与伦比的作用。然而，我们的研究模式并不完美。虽然我们促进了实施者和研究人员之间的紧密关系，但这种伙伴关系需要大量的资源来发展。此外，缩短实施者和研究人员之间传统的“一臂之遥”是一把双刃剑：一些捐助者对我们的研究人员和从业人员组成一个相互依赖的团队感到不安。然而，我们相信我们的模式利大于弊。当我们的研究人员进行调查时，他们这样做的方式不仅仅是为了满足他们的出版需求。相反，将合作伙伴整合到一个互惠互利的研究团队中，确保我们的调查既在科学上处于领先地位，又能实时改善我们在实地的保护举措。
Researchers and practitioners often exist symbiotically, but this relationship does not always benefit both parties. We here discuss a mutualistic research symbiosis that our organizations have developed over the last decade, the challenges which we have experienced as part of this process, and how our experiences may help others intending to develop such mutualisms. The defining characteristic of our model is that conservation implementers, not investigators, lead the research. This power balance has promoted synergies between researchers and practitioners and has resulted in one of the first ever Randomized Control Trials of a conservation intervention. We have shortened the distance between basic research and field practices by ensuring that the people who will use the results of an investigation play a lead role in designing and implementing it. Local conservation practitioners have been trained in cutting edge scientific methodologies, while university researchers have had an unparalleled role in designing the conservation and development intervention. Our research model is not perfect, however. Although we have facilitated tight relationships between implementers and researchers, such partnerships take significant resources to develop. Moreover, shortening the traditional “arm's length” distance between implementers and investigators is a double‐edged sword: some donors are uncomfortable that our researchers and practitioners comprise a mutually dependent team. Nevertheless, we believe that our model's benefits outweigh its costs. When our researchers undertake their investigations, they do so in ways that do not simply meet their publication needs. Rather, the integration of partners into a mutualistic research team ensures that our investigations are both scientifically cutting edge and that they can improve our conservation initiatives on the ground in real time.
