Opportunity Purpose
Our research team is looking for an older adult patient partner to contribute to multiple research projects about physical activity, possibly including surveys, interviews, and consensus meetings. Our main goal is to better understand what older adults seek to gain from engaging in physical activity, so that clinical trials measure those outcomes that matter most to older adults.

Details
We would like an older adult to join research team meetings and review wording of informed consent forms, measurement tools (e.g., surveys, interview guides), and recruitment materials for relevance and accessibility. The patient partner would also help us test measurement tools and recruit study participants through their existing networks, if possible. The patient partner could be involved in interpretation of study results and publications.

Eligibility
Age: 65 Years – 115 Years Old

It has been so rewarding to go from an idea to working with such a great group of dedicated people from so many different organizations towards a very fun and rewarding project. Several extremely engaged PVN members expressed interest in being part of piloting a patient virtual care peer support system. I am confident that this is the beginning of many more exciting collaborations!
