A Framework to Ensure Patient Partners Have Equal and ContributingVoices Throughout the Research Program Evaluation Process

摘要

Traditionally, peer review was a closed process conducted only by individualsworking in the research field. To establish a more integrated andpatient-centered approach, one of Canada’s largest kidney research networks(Can-SOLVE CKD) has created a Research Operations Committee (ROC) thatincludes patients as key members. The ROC represents one way for achievingmeaningful patient-oriented research (POR).
