Academic-clinical research partnerships can benefit academic and clinical partners when goals are clearly articulated and mutually determined and include increased research dissemination and lower research costs. This article explores the history of academic-clinical research partnerships and discusses the drivers of collaborative academic-clinical research relationships, resources from academia and clinical sites, and sustainability of collaborative partnerships. Through collaboration, academic-clinical partners can improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Aims:The aims of the study were to compare characteristics, resources, benefits and outcomes of academic-clinical collaborations of nursing researcher leaders from academic, clinical and joint-employer sites. Background: Few research-based publications addressed academic-clinical research collaborations. New knowledge could increase nursing and multidisciplinary research productivity, including implementation science. Design: An anonymous survey using a 40-item questionnaire. Methods: Information letters with a link to the questionnaire were emailed to United States nursing research leaders. Data were grouped by institution type: academic, clinical or joint-employer. Analyses included Kruskal-Wallis tests for ordered responses, Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical responses and Cohen's Kappa agreement statistic for expected and actual time devoted to research. STROBE guidelines were followed. Results: Of 120 respondents from academic (n = 60; 50.0%), clinical (n = 53; 41.2%)and joint-employer (n = 7; 5.8%) sites, 78.3%, 92.3% and 100%, respectively, were from metropolitan areas. Mean (SD) priority for active collaborations was higher at jointemployer sites; p = .002. Clinical sites were more likely to have directors of evidencebased practice (p = .031) and informatics (p = .008) and librarians (p = .029). Sites with collaborations were more likely to have access to research subjects (p = .008) and

The purpose of this study is to explore the nutritional lifestyle of college women, and to determine if there are differences in nutritional lifestyle, as well as, perception of health status between black and white college women. The study is a secondary analysis of data using Nola Pender's conceptual framework. The instruments used to collect the data were the Health-Promotion Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) and a background questionnaire The sample included data collected from 340 South Carolinian college women (228 were white and 112 women were black). Results were analyzed using a ftest to identify differences in nutritional lifestyles between the black and white women. The results indicated a significant (P .00001) difference. Black women relative to white women practiced fewer healthy nutritional activities. Chi-square was used to examine the perceived health status data between black and white women. The results indicated a significant (0.005) difference. Additionally, black women relative to white women perceived their health status lower than did the white women. Lastly, the Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and perceived health status. The results indicated there was no significance relationship (Z 0.877). Based on these results further studies are needed to find an appropriate intervention to improve black women's nutritional lifestyle. SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)THE
