在研究实践伙伴关系（RPPs）中，研究人员和实践者之间的界限可能是模糊的，每个人的角色可能不清楚。然而，人们对这些角色是如何谈判的，以及对合作努力的影响知之甚少。在组织理论的指导下，我们分享了一个RPP多年案例研究的结果，借鉴了合作伙伴领导会议的观察结果以及与学区领导和合作伙伴的访谈。角色谈判发生在超过三分之一的领导会议，证明身份参考话语。当角色不明确时，合作努力就会停滞;一旦合作伙伴重新谈判他们的角色，他们共同参与工作的方式就会改变。几种力量促成了这些动态，包括合作伙伴雄心勃勃但模糊的身份以及向该集团引入新成员。本研究提供了那些从事伙伴关系工作的影响，并提供了一个基础，为未来的研究有关角色谈判的RPPs。
In research-practice partnerships (RPPs), the line between researcher and practitioner can be blurred, and the roles for everyone involved may be unclear. Yet little is known about how these roles are negotiated and with what consequences for collaborative efforts. Guided by organizational theory, we share findings from a multiyear case study of one RPP, drawing on observations of partnership leadership meetings and interviews with school district leaders and partners. Role negotiation occurred in more than one third of leadership meetings, as evidenced by identity-referencing discourse. When roles were unclear, collaborative efforts stalled; once partners renegotiated their roles, it changed how they engaged in the work together. Several forces contributed to these dynamics, including the partner's ambitious yet ambiguous identity and the introduction of new members to the group. This study offers implications for those engaged in partnership work and provides a foundation for future research regarding role negotiation in RPPs.
