About CHRIM Research Advisory Councils

The Parents/Caregivers and Youth in the Research Advisory Councils connect with CHRIM researchers and health researchers from the University of Manitoba to support patient and family-centered priorities in research. We aim to support researchers in their work, especially for short-term projects or those new to family involvement in projects. 

The Research Advisory Councils support researchers on any or all of the following:

• Solidify research questions and priorities, appropriate methodologies, and give feedback on the strategy to engage parent/caregiver/youth partners prior to grant submission.
• Consult during the preparation phase on consent forms and recruitment materials.
• Assist in the creation of and/or give feedback on questions to be asked in interviews with participants.
• Assist in the creation of and/or give feedback on questions for patient/family surveys.
• Suggest avenues for the recruitment of participants.
• Assist in the creation of and/or give feedback on materials to share the knowledge of the findings with the other patients and the public.
• And more!
