Abstract

This article describes the potential problems and principles inherent in developing a research component in a community - based consortium of long - term care providers and educational institutions. The Consortium for Gerontological Education in Long - term Care was designed to share educational resources among member institutions. In the last several years the Consortium has developed a collaborative research agenda and undertaken specific training in field research techniques. Meeting the needs of divergent members of the Consortium by introducing research that integrates students, academics, and health care providers working in the field is discussed in a way that clarifies the challenges as well as the success of the endeavor.
