This short, graphically pleasing summary of the impact that engagement had on study design and conduct was presented to study stakeholders so they could understand how important their input was to this study. This format could be used by other study teams as a model to close the feedback loop with stakeholder partners.

This example of a Letter of Participation and Study Compensation from the C3FIT study outlines the duties of an advisor and lays out how payments will be executed. This document could be used as an example for other study teams to follow when outlining partner responsibilities and terms of participation as a stakeholder partner.

This survey was developed by the study team to better understand stakeholder partners' experiences as advisors. It could be used as a template or an example for other teams interested in obtaining feedback from study partners on their engagement experience.

This onboarding one-pager from the C3FIT Stroke study team lays out study details, the role of engagement, and the leadership on the study. It can be viewed as a template for a brief informational resource that will help recruit and onboard stakeholder partners.

This training deck guides users through the process of selecting a research question. Using this deck helps study teams onboard stakeholders to a PCOR project while also collecting information about topic prioritization for the study team. This deck was made to be adapted by study teams and can be used in tandem with the rest of the SEED Method materials or alone.

This communication tool guides conversations between local sites and their partners while also creating a short report that can be shared with the governance team. This resource will help plan meetings, manage discussions, and share feedback between sites.

This recruitment strategy spreadsheet was created to help study teams identify and select possible individual and organizational partners. It can also serve as a template for managing engagement over the course of the entire project. It is part of the SEED Method Toolkit, which is linked below.

This toolkit was specifically designed to improve stakeholder recruitment, selection and engagement. This comprehensive document includes an overview of the SEED Method, instructions, example documents – including timelines, meeting agendas, and powerpoint slides – and customizable templates – including organizational documents, facilitation guides, and training materials. An optional evaluation module is also included as part of the toolkit for users who would like to assess SEED Method processes or outcomes.

This communication tool ensures that recommendations made at local sites are registered and acted upon by both the local study team and the study's steering committee. This tool walks each issue from the question posed by study staff through to the impact of feedback on the study itself. It is a useful tool both to track internal communications and to share with partners.

This communication tool tracks touches with stakeholder partners. It will allow your research team to build strong relationships with partners by ensuring timely and clear communication. It lays out both the input received and the ways that it was utilized to improve the project. It can be used internally by the study team or as a shared tool with partners.

Developed for educating study teams about Patient-Centered Outcomes Research and the C3FIT study, this slide deck can be viewed as a resource for other teams to learn from.

This training deck is an example of a lay language presentation that clearly explains study questions, study design, and leadership structure of a PCOR study. It can be used by study teams to help brainstorm other communication tools.

Meeting materials shared with stakeholder advisors as part of the study kickoff meeting present a study overview and elements of the study protocol in an easily understandable format. The materials could be used as a model by other teams looking to introduce study protocol and intervention elements to stakeholder advisors.

The University of Washington developed this role description for patient advisors participating in the CODA study. It contains information on patient advisor expectations, qualities, role, and time commitment, as well as a study organizational chart. The information presented in the document could inform the work of others developing or supporting work with patient advisors.

This document outlines the key timepoints at which patients and other stakeholders will have input on the COMPASS study (Wake Forest University Health Sciences). It is meant to provide a roadmap of engagement activities across the entire project by multiple stakeholders. The document outlines specific engagement activities for intervention design, recruitment and retention, and study implementation that can serve as a planning tool for other teams interested in developing stakeholder engagement.
