Establishing a successful partnership with researchers can be daunting, and a process filled with a lot of questions. Where do you begin? What should you expect from a partnership? What’s a good research question? What type of data will you need or be expected to collect to answer your questions? What format should you request for feedback or evaluation outcomes? How can or should the partnership evolve once data are collected and findings shared? In this session presenters will discuss these questions and more with the goal of providing insight from a researcher perspective on how to make the most out of a research partnership.
