This article presents the Provider-Researcher Partnership Model, to account for how provider- and agency-level factors influence providers’ intentions to form partnerships with researchers. The model is based on data from a CBPR study with providers of HIV-related services in New York City. The model can be used to inform researchers’ and providers’ decision making around partnership and to help guide policy makers’ decisions around collaborative research funding.
