In this session, PEER partners Erin Henrick and Richard Welsh  introduced a tool to help specify a theory of action for research use within RPPs. They also shared examples of two RPP’s tools and routines that foster the use of research evidence through co-design and asked participants to share other examples from their RPPs as they collectively worked to start a repository of resources for learning and continued use.

Key Learnings:

In this session, PEER co-directors Abbey Loehr and Erin Henrick led participants in a discussion about designing RPP structures that facilitate diverse, cross-organizational teams who equally engage throughout all phases of a research cycle.

Participants helped PEER's facilitators brainstorm the best ways to  ensure there is a commitment to the co-construction of research while also taking into account the inherent tension between taking the time and steps necessary to build trust within the partnership and responding quickly to changing contexts at the same time. 

Key Learning:
There is wide variability in how RPPs are structured and organized. Much can be learned from the different structures and can be applied and woven into existing organizations.
