The Cochrane Steering Group, in its January 2016 Vancouver meeting, approved a revision of Cochrane’s partnership policy. It also supported the proposed partnership framework. This framework is a useful tool for all Cochrane Groups when developing or evaluating their partnerships.

In 2016, more tools will be developed to support Cochrane Groups in partnership development. We expect these resources will be useful in making partnerships beneficial to Cochrane as well as to our external partners.
