Revolutionize Health Research Partnerships: Be Part of the Change!
We're on a mission to transform the landscape of health research partnerships, and we need your help! The University of Manitoba is inviting 25 individuals to participate in a groundbreaking project that will shape the future of research collaboration documentation and reporting.
Here's the deal:
We're seeking participants for a unique initiative to develop recommendations for documenting and reporting on health research partnerships. This project is all about capturing the essence of these partnerships and ensuring their impact is effectively communicated. But here's where it gets intriguing... We'll be using a Delphi survey method, a cool technique to gather opinions and reach a consensus.
Who should apply?
We're looking for a diverse group of individuals who fit any of these descriptions:
- Decision-makers who've been involved in research partnerships
- Individuals with lived experiences, bringing their unique perspectives to research
- Healthcare professionals who've collaborated in research
- Researchers studying or conducting health research partnerships
- Ethics board members, academic editors, and research funders
- Managers and coordinators in research partnerships
- Knowledge brokers facilitating research collaborations
What's involved?
This is a virtual opportunity with a flexible time commitment. Participants will engage in:
1. A quick pre-screening form (10 mins) to assess eligibility and understand your background.
2. Three rounds of Delphi surveys (1 hour each, spread over six months) to evaluate various aspects of health research partnerships.
3. An optional focus group discussion (90 mins) with like-minded participants.
The Perks:
- Language options: Choose between English and French for the forms.
- Compensation: Earn up to $120 CAD in e-gift cards for your valuable time and insights.
- Impact: Help create recommendations that will shape the future of health research partnership documentation.
Controversy Alert: Some might argue that the definition of 'knowledge users' is too broad. Are healthcare professionals, decision-makers, and patients all 'knowledge users' in the same capacity? What do you think?
If you're ready to contribute to this exciting project, don't delay! The deadline for submissions is March 6, 2026. Contact Dr. Kathryn Sibley (kathryn.sibley@umanitoba.ca) to get started and be part of this research revolution!
