Engagement of People Living with MS
People living with MS play an essential role in identifying relevant research questions, providing guidance and feedback on research processes, interpreting findings, and supporting the dissemination of results. As part of the endMS National Training Program, we are committed to increasing the engagement of people living with MS in the program. We believe that our trainees, mentors, and committee members have much to learn from people living with MS. As a starting point, we asked people living with MS to provide feedback to our 2022-2023 SPRINT teams on their interdisciplinary research project summaries. The goal of this feedback was to ensure the summaries were accessible to all people, regardless of their scientific background.
​
The goal of the SPRINT interdisciplinary learning projects is to provide trainees with the unique opportunity to expand their areas of research interest in a structured way under the supervision of a mentor and in collaboration with two co-trainees from different disciplines and with a community partner (person with lived experience). Knowledge dissemination from the projects include the development and distribution of an information brochure for people living with MS and researchers; an article for publication, preparation of an educational newsletter or presentation for people living with MS, etc.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, for their involvement, their time as well as their very helpful feedback on the process.
