For the past five years, new teams of people have been trying to improve the way medical research is applied in frontline care.
Following on from the initial nine schemes, the number has been expanded to 13 and there has been research into how the organisations work.
Ministers see these schemes ? collaborations for leadership in applied health research (CLAHRC, pronounced 'clark') - as a success, and to varying degrees they have fulfilled their initial aim of encouraging staff in the NHS to adopt research-informed practices.
But they have been closely scrutinised by researchers, including a team from Brunel University, London and RAND Europe, a non-profit institution that helps improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis. In a paper published this month in the Journal of Health Services Research and Policy we have picked out some of the key success factors arising from the rich experience of the first wave.
