There is a significant difference in the collaborative process between whether a public health nursing research project is requested (of the researchers) by the agency or if it is conceived by an outside investigator. This article discusses the underlying concepts of negotiation, mutuality, and respect that support the process of an externally initiated study in an agency. In a progressive listing format, the important components within the planning, development, implementation, and completion phases are then described so that they can be useful to beginning researchers as a guide and to experienced researchers as a reminder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
