与社区利益相关者（例如政策制定者，从业者，社区组织，患者）一起进行和/或传播研究是产生相关和有影响力的研究的一种有前途的方法。然而，在研究人员和利益攸关方之间建立强大和成功的伙伴关系是复杂的。到目前为止，对这些研究伙伴关系如何、何时以及为什么取得成功缺乏深入的了解。本研究的目的是评估和解释的结果和影响的研究人员和社区利益相关者的国家网络随着时间的推移，以获得更好地了解如何，何时以及为什么研究伙伴关系是成功的（或不）。一个由研究人员和社区利益攸关方组成的大型国家网络，共同努力加强身体残疾人的社区参与。为了最大限度地发挥加拿大残疾人参与项目网络内进行的研究的影响，研究人员在制定和实施知识转化计划方面得到了支持。RE-AIM框架的组成部分（范围、有效性、采用、实施和维护）将指导这项研究。将在2018-2021年期间的不同时间点使用不同方法（日志、调查、时间轴访谈）从不同角度（研究人员、利益相关者）收集数据。结合数据分析方法，包括网络分析和聚类分析，将用于研究RE-AIM组件。定性数据将被用来补充调查结果，并进一步了解随着时间的推移和跨groups.DiscussionThe的结果，影响和过程中进行和传播的研究与社区利益相关者一起RE-AIM组件的变化将被广泛研究。这项研究的纵向设计将提供一个独特的机会，审查研究伙伴关系随着时间的推移，并了解使用各种创新的研究方法（如网络分析，时间轴访谈）的基本过程。这项研究将有助于打开与社区利益相关者合作进行成功和有影响力的健康研究的黑匣子。https://osf.io/kj5xa/
BackgroundConducting 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).MethodsThis 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.DiscussionThe 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.Trial registrationOpen Science Framework: https://osf.io/kj5xa/.
