Abstract

The paper analyzes the status quo of a recently formed Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) based in Essen, Germany, sketching its emergence, composition and progress against the analytical lens of translation, equity-in-mission and equity-in-progress as well as the potential effects of practitioner backgrounds of the graduate and postdoctoral members of the research team. As such, this paper 1) engages in ongoing conversations about translation challenges as fundamental to RPPs themselves, 2) locates the project's status quo along equity-in-mission and equity-in-process and 3) utilizes the Framework for Assessing Research-Practice Partnerships (Henrick et al., 2017) to discuss the project's results and to contribute to foundational questions of RPPs from a transatlantic perspective.
