My Readiness

You may choose to modify your priorities now that you have learned more about engaging a patient partner on your clinical trial/research team. Review your identified (My) Priorities and decide if you wish to modify/change:

  • Where you wish to engage a patient partner in the research process, and
  • Your preferred level of engagement.

Lastly you will do a readiness quiz before moving on to make your decision.

Review My Priorities

Drag and drop each step in The Research Process/Lifecycle from where you envision patients being MOST engaged as patient partners to LEAST engaged in your clinical trial/research project.
