This paper presents a training experience on research in a Mexican nursing school. The Health Research Platform, as the initiative was called, was carried out using a participatory and collaborative approach. Besides its interest in an inclusive process, the Platform started by retrieving experiences, practices and suggestions of those involved in the research. The product was the identification of priorities and the elaboration of an annual plan. The latter included a permanent research seminar, courses, and mechanisms of support at an individual level as well as the strengthening of networks. Almost one year after having started the Platform, some advances can be seen in certain areas such as in counseling, coursework and the permanent seminar. However, there are other activities which have not been implemented due to problems of diverse nature. In addition, some areas stand out in need of further development and they bring to light situations where future programs can be redefined.
