AB  - The Department of Health (England) commissioned this evaluation of the pilot 
      Health Technology Cooperatives (HTCs), which are part of its research 
      infrastructure. Its purpose is to explore how this initiative has affected 
      relationships between clinical, industrial and academic partners; how the HTCs 
      fit into the current health innovation landscape; and the alignment of HTC 
      activities to the goals set out in the NIHR strategy. Since the HTC scheme was 
      intended to focus on medical devices, this review investigated how medical device 
      development is being pursued by other similar entities in England, Australia and 
      the USA. The key question was whether the institutional relationships initiated 
      by the HTCs are contributing to the health research system in England and if this 
      scheme is the most effective way of pursuing these relationships. This review had 
      no specific theory or hypothesis to test, so information was gathered so as to 
      allow key conclusions to be drawn and linked to existing theories. This review 
      used documented evidence from the institutions involved as well as interviews. 
      The pilot HTCs have shown that there are different, but equally legitimate, 
      management approaches to the clinician-industry-patient relationship. These 
      different approaches are reflections both of the disease field and the host 
      institution culture. Neither HTC has concluded how best to sustain activities in 
      the long term, particularly core management facilities such as supporting initial 
      meetings with potential partners and early development of technologies from 
      non-commercial sources. Recommendations focused on how best to support core HTC 
      activities in the future.
