 Healthcare researchers face many challenges when trying to work with healthcare professionals. Bowen et al. conducted a study in Canada to explore the perspectives of healthcare professionals on research collaboration and the challenges it poses. They found that there was a need to rethink the contours of research and proposed new models for fostering more meaningful collaborations between researchers and healthcare professionals. These models include translational research networks, TRNs, and researcher-in-residence models which rely on a complex interplay of personal and interpersonal factors to be successful.
