For Researchers and Research Trainees
Researchers have an important leadership role in the conduct and use of Patient-Oriented Research (POR). Knowledge users, such as policymakers and managers, expect that the research evidence put in front of them will come from research that uses patient engagement as part of its integrated knowledge translation approach.
The following materials and resources will help you:
- Finding POR evidence;
- Using POR evidence in making decisions; and,
- Creating/commissioning POR to find answers
