Promising Points for Intervention in Re-Imagining Partnered Research in Health Services Comment on "Experience of Health Leadership in Partnering with University-Based Researchers in Canada - A Call to 'Re-imagine' Research".

In this commentary, we respond to Bowen and colleagues' empirical study of research partnerships between Canadian health organizations and university-based investigators. We draw on our experiences of university and health-services partnerships to elaborate on some of the misalignments between researchers and health services leaders identified by Bowen et al. We take up Bowen and colleagues' call to re-imagine research by proposing three promising points of intervention in research partnerships. These are: (1) orient towards research relationships rather than project-based partnerships; (2) recognize shared and diverging expectations and objectives; and (3) foster a more nuanced understanding of mutual gains.
