Abstract
The Innovating Across Sectors (IaS) research program examines the challenges of partnering across sectors (cross-sectoral partnerships) to provide public goods, such as healthcare. IaS research focuses on newly-formed partnerships between the public sector (government services and systems) and the third sector (i.e. community, nonprofit organizations, open source networks and databanks). IaS further focuses on examining those partnerships where new digital technologies (platforms, social media, artificial intelligence), often created by the private sector, have a prominent role. The challenge of creating, maintaining, managing and regulating these partnerships is heightened because they involve multiple stakeholders (service users such as patients, professionals and professional associations, private companies, organizational leaders, policymakers and the public).
IaS leverages an interdisciplinary research team, as well as both qualitative and quantitative research methods, to examine in real-life settings a series of cases in the UK and Canada with plans to expand to the USA and more countries.
We aim to address important questions of how these new innovative partnerships emerge, how they can be sustainable, to understand their intended and unintended consequences for various stakeholders and how these are regulated or managed in real-life settings.

Planned Impact
From this research, benefits will flow to:
- Public sector and third sector organizations directly involved in this study as research partners, because my research will yield actionable findings to guide in the improved design and implementation of partnerships. This will have immediate benefit.
- Public sector and third sector organizations and government officials in the UK, because the cross-country comparisons will yield insights on PTS effectiveness and sustainability which in turn will benefit the economic competitiveness of the UK. Also the broad utility of the findings will increase the effectiveness of public services not only in healthcare but also in other human services (e.g. education, childcare, immigration services).
- Policy-makers within the UK and the US, because findings will inform current conversations on the value of PTS through cross-case analysis which yields generalizable findings. Drawing on these findings I will create policy briefings to contribute to the redesign of the Key Lines of Enquiry set out by the Care Quality Commission and the latest update of the UK Taskforce on Empowering People and Communities. My evidence-based recommendations will also be of direct interest to the What Works Centre for Wellbeing, which has just started exploring evidence-building proposals, and for the Health and Wellbeing Alliance established in 2017 to give NHS England, Public Health England and the Department of Health and Social Care access to voluntary organization co-design partners.
- The wider public. More effective and sustainable PTS partnerships will benefit directly mental health patients whose care delivery will improve in the context of my study. As mental illness impacts on the wellbeing of patients as well as their communities, more effective co-delivery care models will benefit society as a whole. Also, findings from this study will be transferrable to other public services (education, childcare, immigration services) therefore maximizing the benefit to the wider public.
Dissemination of the research findings will target all relevant levels: academia, industry and policy. Through disciplinary and interdisciplinary conference and invited talks, me and my team will target academic audiences. For governments and third sector organizations, I will create a publicly-accessible Learning e-series and a knowledge exchange platform. For current and future industry leaders, I will develop experiential learning materials and also publish findings in practitioner-facing journals. For my research partners, I will deliver workshops and reports.

| Description | After significant delays caused by Covid19's impact on health services worldwide, and on our research team, we are now in the beginning of Y4 of the award and delighted to report some initial but promising findings: 1. The Canadian arm of IaS has generated unique insights into the emergence of cross-sector collaborations for healthcare provision, which is at the core of our award's objectives. These insights are made possible only because of the uniqueness of the empirical setting and the incredible access we have achieved through partnerships with the Ministry and local academic collaborators. In short, our data shows which combinations of work practices and governance structures are more, or less, likely to generate sustainable cross-sector collaborations among organisations, and how these contribute to equitable healthcare provision. We show this longitudinally, which is important to be able to argue which 'combinations' are sustainable over time. These findings are novel for researchers across disciplines and for policymakers. Importantly, this dataset and knowledge base opens up new research questions about the role of digital practices in cross-sector collaborations for healthcare. .. .. 2. The UK arm of IaS has generated a novel qualitative and quantitative dataset on cross-sector collaborations for healthcare provision, which is at the core of our award's objectives. In short, our data speaks to the motivations, aptitudes and characteristics that may generate more, or less, sustainable collaborations between public and third sector organisations for health service provision. This dataset and knowledge base allows us to identify the process by which such collaborations generate new cross-sectoral identities. This insight has already won an award (by one of the IaS team members). .. .. 3. The role of digital technologies and tools in cross-sector collaborating, a key component of IaS examinations, has been pursued through new new research networks/collaborations/partnerships with medical and computer science researchers and scholars and technology companies. This expansion of the research team has led also to increased research capability. This further means that our core IaS team has developed new and much improved research methods and skills to address the important new questions opened up on the role of digital technologies, in particular those that are powered by artificial intelligence. .. .. 4. We have developed research infrastructure to increase capacity and research interest in the field of cross-sector collaborations, through creating and sharing publicly an online website containing a platform for all work published so far on cross sector collaborations .. .. 5. We have engaged with policymakers, as well as with practitioners in the frontlines, leaders of healthcare and third sector organisations, and with the entire ecosystem (e.g. Pharma, Tech companies). This comprehensive approach and diligent efforts at disseminating our insights is promising to influence policy and practice. Evidence of this is in our briefings, and citations and inclusion (by invitation) into policy committees, consultation panels and expert advisory boards. 6. Three of my team members have successfully moved from Postdoctoral researchers into Assistant Professorship roles in research intensive universities, my PhD/MRes students have successfully upgraded and won national-level scholarships and even a Best Dissertation award. This upward career mobility is testament to the IaS program's emphasis on supporting juniors' career development, and an IaS objective. .. .. |
| Exploitation Route | 1. IaS datasets are unique. Together, they comprise a platform that can be used by others (researchers and practitioners) to further examine the emergence phase of cross-sector collaborations, what works, and under which conditions. 2. IaS data and findings are across countries. This offers a promising platform for cross-country comparisons. Further countries' inclusion in the program would be beneficial to the research community at large 3. IaS' systematic review (published) and new online, open-access platform we have created offers the opportunity to all researchers, practitioners and public to interrogate existing literature on cross-sector partnership questions. 4. IaS studies specifically focus on digital practices and tools, and especially on those powered by Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. This is the new frontier for cross-sector collaborations because the data, training and auditing that powers AI tools necessarily must be derived from public and private and third sectors in order to render an AI tool efficient. This is particularly relevant to healthcare as a sector, but similarly crucial in education, energy and communities, and social services. |

| Description | My findings have been used to inform the strategy of our research partners (the UK's NHS, Canada's Ministry of Health, UK's third sector organization networks, OHT Canada's leadership, USA and UK technology companies). This is evidenced through concrete decisions made/changed because of our reporting of our findings to the leaderships of these organizations. Our findings have been used to change attitudes and direction for organizations within the broader ecosystem of the UK and the USA, evidenced in the continuing stream of invited plenary talks and expert panel invitations. At the policy level, our consultation and advisory role positions have led to the creation of guidelines for researchers, for industry leaders and for the public sector. For research, our findings have created new platforms and are being used to open up new research avenues, evidenced in our methodology publications and our open-access cross-sectoral platform. |

| Policy Influence Type | Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health |
| Impact | Response letter dated 07/08/2023 states that our Letter (dated 13/06/2023) had led to the following impact: "two Government amendments to the Bill have been tabled and accepted at Lords Report stage which address this important issue". This is of direct impact and benefit to all UK researchers and by extension to the UK public at a time that is crucial for setting the norm in our regulatory environment around data access and online safety. The Response letter was signed by Paul Scully MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, United Kingdom. The first amendment requires Ofcom to publish its report into researcher access to information within 18 months, rather than two years. This recognises the need to rapidly develop the evidence base, while balancing Ofcom's timelines to ensure that it can deliver the key priorities in establishing the core parts of the regulatory framework, for example the illegal content and child safety duties. The second amendment requires Ofcom to publish guidance on this issue for providers of regulated services and researchers into online safety matters. This includes guidance on how to improve access for researchers in a safe and secure way, following the publication of their report. |

| Impact | Efforts from all involved parties are being made to tackle areas for improvement: • In the public sector, frontline improvisation of building XSPs has been observed to provide more flexible and customized services tailored to the service user's needs. Employees strategically streamline tasks to incorporate XSP elements into their demanding daily schedules. • In the third sector, participants engage in constructive conversations with public-sector partners to understand each other's positions and sustain relationships. They adopt a portfolio mindset, leveraging positive experiences from well-arranged XSPs to address challenges in others. Within-sector collaboration is emphasized to present a clear and strong third-sector image to public sector partners and service users. • Local authorities, including the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), serve as brokers, contributing significantly to addressing XSP challenges. They integrate parties by illustrating the value of XSP and embed XSP in their contracting processes. Active reflections on past efforts in XSPs help refine macro-level institutions to promote an integrated healthcare system. |

| Title | "Capturing Cross-sectoral collaborations survey" |
| Description | Our research team (PI & Dr. Lei Liu) created the first, to the best of our knowledge, survey to capture cross-sectoral collaborations both formal and informal in organizational and interorganizational settings. The survey has been developed and tested, soon to be utilised as part of our research study. This survey that is uniquely designed for cross-sectoral network research. This survey incorporates the "name generator" tool used in social network research to create the structure of networks among people who are involved in cross-sector collaborations. This survey thus allows us to understand the social context of cross-sector collaborations. By disseminating the survey multiple times at different time points, researchers could also capture the interpersonal dynamics in cross-sector collaborations. |

| Impact | We anticipate that this survey will solve a very practical problem with evaluating cross-sectoral collaborations, namely that often they are hidden from the organizational leadership (what we refer to as "informal"). Yet this is important because organizations cannot manage what is not accounted for. We anticipate that this research tool will be valuable to scholars of cross-sectoral collaborations and also to organizational leaders. |

Drawing on all this data, we compare how different configurations of teams of organizations, and different choices in governance of these cross-sectoral teams, affect healthcare integration. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The collaborators facilitate research access and contribute access to already collected data. Our partners contributed data and local knowledge of the healthcare sector in Ontario. We received access to data collected and curated by our partners across 156 health and social care organizations in Ontario, Canada. |
| Impact | Outputs so far include a unique topic model of adaptation, which is a tool that can be used by other researchers in the future. A paper has also been accepted at the Annual QCA Conference of the Americas (AQCA) 2022, which brings together cross-disciplinary researchers and practitioners working with configurational-comparative methods and approaches - paper entitled "Bottom-up diffusion: A fuzzy-set analysis of practice adaptation to patient needs in the Ontario healthcare sector". |
