Nicole,

You might try contacting SSHRC.  One of their most recent research
competitions called, Community-University Research Alliances is based on
the premise of partnerships.  I'm assuming that they've grappled with the
concept during the development of this new grant area.

Below is the URL for the web page on the CURA competition.

Good luck,
