The Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans (CPCoE) has released a new Veteran Engagement in Research Toolkit, developed in direct response to conversations with Veterans, families, researchers, clinicians, and others in the community.
These consultations revealed a clear need for stronger cultural competence, connection, and mutual understanding between Veterans and research teams. This toolkit is designed to help address that gap.
Whether you're a Principal Investigator, co-investigator, trainee, clinician, policymaker, Veteran Research Partner, or other knowledge user, this resource provides practical guidance and tools to support meaningful, effective Veteran engagement in research.
Co-created with Veterans, the toolkit reflects their voices and lived experience.
✅ Three short online education modules to deepen your understanding of Veteran engagement in Research
✅ An opportunity for Veterans to register for our Veteran Research Partner Database to be matched with research teams
✅An opportunity for researchers to register for Partner Database to be matched with Veteran partners
✅Information on best practices, roles, responsibilities and compensation
And much more!
