OBJECTIVE: This paper gives guidance for developing collaborative clinical research within an academic psychiatry department. METHODS: We describe the experience at the Australian National University Medical School, and present three case studies. RESULTS: The results reveal that general principles include, but are not limited to, intellectual curiosity, mentorship, collaboration and protected time. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a particular strength of a new research department at a medical school may be close collaborative research within clinical settings.
