 Bowen et al., 2019, argue that partnership research is essential to address the complex challenges facing health care systems and organizations today. The authors focus on strategic actors in these partnerships and their experiences, views and advice for sustainable collaboration. They emphasize the need to reimagine research, to move away from an acute care and clinical focus, and to improve the academic preparation of researchers for partnership work. Additionally, they highlight the importance of rethinking research funding and improving the conditions for research partnerships. Based on their own experience with 10 research projects in Sweden, the authors offer insight into how to best approach collaborative and partnership research. Finally, they identify areas that require further exploration in order to learn from successful approaches. This article was authored by Monica E. Neistrom and Helena Strellenert.
