This paper developed by the Wisconsin Public Health Research Network (WPHRN), a public health practice-based research network (PH-PBRN), suggests areas for potential collaboration on public health research. The paper compares potential research questions focused on the AHD model from the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice’s Academic Health Department (AHD) Research Agenda with priority research questions of relevance and importance to public health practice identified by the WPHRN to guide researchers and practitioners conducting public health services and systems research in Wisconsin. This paper highlights areas of overlapping research interest related to shared services, workforce, AHD and local health department engagement with Accountable Care Organizations, finance, and accreditation, as well as shared interest in translation and dissemination.
