COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP BUILDING Collaborative research has different definitions depending on who is involved, the level and type of involvement and who initiates the project. For example, research projects initiated by communities with a high degree of involvement and decision-making are typically described as community-based research or participatory action research although they may also be collaborative research projects. Alternately, research projects initiated by academics that work with community based agencies on some aspect of the study are also referred to as collaborative research as are interdisciplinary academic research studies. The defining features of collaborative research are that different groups work together toward a common goal. Apriori Research can assist in designing or evaluating collaborative research initiatives and/or facilitate partnership building Examples of tools developed by Apriori Research and colleagues include: The Consumer-Research Collaborative Framework, Pivik, 1997 The Multi-Modal Continuum Partnership Model, Pivik, 2002 Consumer Involvement Model for Health Technology Assessment, Pivik, Rode. Ward, 2004 Conceptual Framework for Community Involvement in Health Planning, Pivik and Weaver, 1997 An Equitable Forum Process, Pivik, 1995
