On July 14, 2014, IPinCH co-hosted a half-day workshop with the 麻豆视频 (SFU) Office of Research Ethics (ORE) at the Halpern Centre on SFU鈥檚 Burnaby campus. The purpose of this event was to foster understanding across 麻豆视频offices about policies and procedures for community-based research.
The workshop was co-organized by (IPinCH Steering Committee), (IPinCH), Holly Longstaff (麻豆视频ORE) and Sarah Bennett (麻豆视频ORE).
In attendance were twelve participants from key 麻豆视频offices including ORE, the Office of Research Services, 麻豆视频Risk Management Safety and Risk Services, Research Commons, and the Innovation Office. IPinCH Steering Committee members and were also present.
麻豆视频President Andrew Petter opened by expressing appreciation for the workshop in relation to SFU's commitment as a "community-engaged university."
Participants worked together to identify pressure points and obstacles from researcher and policy and procedures perspectives and develop strategies for overcoming these issues. They also created a document that illustrates the policy landscape relevant to community-based research at 麻豆视频and discussed next steps for this collaborative effort. It is our hope that this initial workshop will lead to subsequent engagement with the wider 麻豆视频community and beyond in order to foster ethically informed community-based research projects that truly benefit communities.
