title: Outcomes of research consortium project.
abstract: In previous articles, 1-3 the authors described the evolution and activities of the consortium project, a unique collaborative model for facilitating the conduct of nursing research in service settings. The authors' aim in these articles was to provide information useful to nursing administrators as they fulfill their professional obligation to support and foster the involvement of their staff in nursing research activities. Now, after five years of funding, the chronicle of this project's development, its successes, and difficulties would be incomplete without a final report of the experience. Therefore, this article describes the last two years of the consortium project.
