Challenges faced by IMPART:

Developing a common language Understanding each others’ disciplinary

stance Learning about other epistemological,

theoretical and methodological frameworks Making the links between animal and human

research Coalescing a community of research practice

Distributed in multiple physical locations

Integrating disciplines and sectors

How can policy makers work with women and communities?

How can researchers work with communities and policy makers?

How can medicine work with other health disciplines?

Integrating research approaches

Mix disciplines, methods and sectoral involvement from policy, providers and community in all phases of research

Inserts new values, practices and broad based training into research processes

Makes sure knowledge is relevant and ends up getting applied and returned
