for Research! Register online today at

WHEN: January 13 from 3:30 - 5 pm eastern time
WHAT: Citizen Engagement at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research:
From Governance to Community-Based Research (CBR)
This call will focus on citizen engagement activities at the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Government of Canada's agency
responsible for funding health research in Canada. In 2007, CIHR embarked on
the development of a Citizen Engagement Framework to guide the agency's
meaningful involvement of individual citizens in both strategic
priority-setting and in research processes.
During this call, participants will learn about CIHR's Citizen Engagement
Framework and how it is being implemented at the macro level (eg, through the
agency's governance structure, strategic planning and peer review processes),
the mid level (eg, through Institute and branch initiatives) and the micro
level (eg, through funding programs and tools such as community-based research
initiatives). Through the call, participants will be encouraged to consider
ways they can contribute to public research funding agency priority-setting and
research processes, as well as ways they can engage citizens more meaningfully
in their work. A CBR housing study funded through CIHR entitled "Positive
Spaces, Healthy Places: An Innovative Community-Academic-Policy Partnership"
will also be showcased.
Speakers on the call will include:
*Chaidwick Leneis, Senior Knowledge Synthesis and Exchange Specialist in the
Synthesis and Exchange Branch of CIHR
*Rosa Venuta, Senior Advisor, Citizen Engagement in the Partnerships and
Citizen Engagement Branch of CIHR
*Sean Rourke, Executive Director, Ontario HIV Treatment Network and Principal
Investigator of the CBR study, "Positive Spaces, Healthy Places"
