document iconA ‘RECIPE’ with example principles and strategies for research partnerships

This study informed the co-creation process of the first Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Guiding Principles for Conducting and Disseminating Spinal Cord Injury Research in Partnerships (www.IKTprinciples.com). Our findings will also help support the use of these new IKT Guiding Principles by researchers and research users.
