The BHI Casebook

What does cross-cutter implementation look like in practice? The Catalyzing Research Excellence and Impact: The Brain-Heart Interconnectome Cross-Cutter Implementation Casebook addresses this very question. 

This casebook features five BHI-funded research teams sharing what it’s really like to integrate the cross-cutters into their brain-heart research. Together, the cases show the various ways cross-cutters can be implemented across many types of research, whether basic science, clinical studies, or participatory community-based studies.

Each case study provides: 

  • Practical examples of how specific cross-cutters are integrated and implemented throughout the research process across various research types 
  • Honest reflections on the challenges teams faced and how they overcame them
  • Real impact on the research and the people involved
  • Lessons learned 

Whether you are a researcher, trainee, patient partner, or knowledge user, this casebook offers inspiration and guidance for conducting co-produced, inclusive, and impactful research.
