Last updated

The CCRA (www.ccra-acrc.ca) is currently engaged in a process to prepare a series of recommendations for research funders on priority areas for funding in cancer health services research. We are engaging with several key stakeholder groups to gather input. I am writing to request your assistance in helping us to recruit cancer patients, survivors and family members/caregivers who may be interested in contributing to this work.

We are looking to engage people from across the country and will be holding five regional online discussions in mid-September. Interested persons will need to apply (online questionnaire) by September 8th.

Persons selected for the online discussions will be required to complete some pre-work, will be reimbursed ($100), and will be acknowledged in the final report. People not selected (we are looking to diversify the discussion groups so not everyone who applies may be selected), will have an opportunity to complete a survey to contribute their voice.

The survey will be distributed later in the fall.

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
