Background Process evaluation is vital for understanding how interventions function in different settings, including if and why they have different effects or do not work at all.

This paper presents the detailed protocol for a process evaluation embedded in a randomised trial of a complex intervention known as SPIRIT (Supporting Policy In health with Research: an Intervention Trial). SPIRIT aims to build capacity for using …

The primary aim is to determine whether SPIRIT results in an increase in the extent to which research and …
