What is it about?
This paper describes Research-Practice Partnerships and key elements that facilitate and impede their use as a tool for identifying and implementing evidence-based strategies that improve practice, policies, and client outcomes. A University-School District partnership helps elucidate critical elements of the partnership and how researchers and practitioners in communication sciences and disorders can develop mutually beneficial collaborations.

Why is it important?
The development of productive on-going relationships between university faculty and school personnel needs to embrace mutual purpose and benefit to education. Research-Practice Partnerships offer an avenue for university, district, and community stakeholders to jointly identify, generate, implement, and evaluate strategies for improving educational practices, policies and outcomes.
Perspectives
Solving real world problems using the strengths and expertise of multiple stakeholders can be accomplished when long-term collaborative relationships are formed and nurtured. Research-Practice Partnerships offer lessons for how to solve practical problems that benefit all involved.
