Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the role of financial arrangements between university researchers and community partners.
- To explore efforts bridging research administration and researchers at two institutions.
Main Methods:
- Investigated financial arrangements between university researchers and community partners.
- Explored institutional practices and policies influencing partnership structures.
Main Results:
