“…After this blurring of roles occurred on both sides, the team was able to discuss what was happening and eventually agreed that it was important to explicitly differentiate roles in order to maximize the usefulness of the alliance. The other teams reported similar dynamics 3,5,6,7 , and all agreed that the differentiation of roles was key to establishing a relationship of trust and mutual respect. This is interesting both as a difference with participatory research, which includes research subjects and researchers.…”

“…In the three remaining cases -Jamaica 5 , Bogotá 6 , and Medellín 7 -, prior contacts did not play as important a role in defining the teams. The researchers had pre-determined a topic of investigation that was relatively well defined, although complex, and they quickly identified specific government officials that they hoped had the political will to produce change in that policy arena.…”

“…Hernández-Bello et al 6 proposed to improve the effectiveness of social protection policies for populations displaced by violence in Bogotá, Colombia. Their central questions were: how can access and quality of healthcare for refugees living in Bogotá be improved, and what is the contribution of a "differential" policy towards the special needs of refugees?…”

“…In Jamaica, a committee of outside academic experts and Ministry officials was convened to review the proposal and to ensure its methodological rigor. One of the elements that in the minds of the researchers helped them to maintain their autonomy was the fact that they insisted on "ownership" of the initial (albeit subsequently transformed) idea 3,6,7 .…”

BackgroundDespite the conceptualization of health services research as an applied area of study, the challenge of making research relevant to the policy process continues to preoccupy the field and its funders 1,2 . It is the hypothesis of this paper that this may be, at least in part, a function of the research funding mechanism that is most often employed. Grants typically begin with a researcher-defined proposal, even when the general topic is predefined in a Request for Proposals, and they tend to end with the submission of a paper to a peer-reviewed journal. Most requests for proposals include no funding that would obligate, or even allow, researchers to interact with those whom they wish to influence with their findings.In this paper we analyze preliminary results of a new research program strategy developed by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) with the support of AcademyHealth that experiments with the structure and process of research. The initiative's goal is to spur innovation in the expansion of social protection in health in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its strategy was to require partnerships among researchers and decision-makers from the start of the research design. Five projects were funded from a pool of over sixty applicants. The assessments of these partnerships as they evolved dur-ARTIGO ARTICLE
