Collaboration in investigator initiated public health nursing research: university and agency considerations.
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.
