This is a theoretical-reflexive study, with a systematic search for articles and reflective analyses to identify central themes and build critical arguments.

Results: Equitable research partnerships strengthen local capacity, address global health inequalities, and promote the inclusion of diverse perspectives. They contribute significantly to the achievement of the SDGs, especially in strengthening research infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries, and in promoting evidence-based policies for health equity.

Conclusion: Establishing and maintaining fair and equitable partnerships is crucial to addressing complex global challenges and achieving the SDGs by 2030. Nursing plays a vital role in this process, advocating for equity, leading community-based research, and contributing to evidence-based policies.
