Multisectoral Collaboration in Implementation, Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration in Research Implementation Research
Challenges and Issues • Institutional & disciplinary boundaries • Incentive systems for researchers (e.g. publications in “main discipline”) • Ownership and sharing of data • Analytical understandings and frameworks, e.g. what “causes” under-nutrition? • Methodological approaches – “positivist” vs “social constructionist”: tendency to under-value qualitative information • Desire to test an intervention through experimental approach vs reality of multiple hard-to-control influences: what change do single interventions bring about? • Ethical issues in testing interventions • Policy relevance – great reality check: what do we have to offer? • Have to allow time for research to provide good policy-relevant recommendations: ideally, 3-stage approach: (i) understand, (ii) try out & evaluate interventions, (iii) scale-up
