ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we present a set of cases written by brokers in the field that relate to each of the components of brokering to strengthen individual partners. They are organized by theme: developing partners’ competency with partnering, developing and nurturing relationships to weather partnering challenges, and creating the conditions to support research use. Within each theme, we organize the cases according to more specific headings that relate to the actions brokers take, such as brokering through explicit teaching of skills and brokering by using tools and processes to develop skills. Then, we provide a short description of each case so readers can understand the content of the case and how the case relates back to practical actions brokers take to strengthen the partnership.
