Onboarding in Patient-Oriented Research

PASSERELLE has launched a new guide on Onboarding in Patient-Oriented Research, designed to support the establishment of collaborative and inclusive research teams. Welcoming new members to a research team is not just about organizational aspects; it is first and foremost about creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable speaking up, understands what is expected of them, and can contribute to effective teamwork.

A co-created guide to support research teams

This guide, co-created with partners with lived and living experience, offers a practical, flexible, and adaptable approach to strengthening collaborations in patient-oriented research. It provides practical tools, reflective prompts, and useful resources to help build trust, clarify everyone’s roles and responsibilities, and then define common goals during the onboarding process.

Supporting sustainable and inclusive collaborations

The guide was designed to support research teams at every stage of welcoming and integrating new members. It is intended for researchers, patient partners, and anyone involved in patient-oriented research. Its goal is to help build strong, equitable, and sustainable collaborations that are centred on people and their lived and living experiences.

The guide is available in English and French.
