Applications open: Family Engagement in Research (FER) 101

[Chris Johnston]

Applications are open for the Family Engagement in Research (FER) 101 run by the CanChild at McMaster.

Run as a mixed cohort of researchers and patients/family/caregivers (PFCs). While the course costs $800, there are 15 fully funded placed for PFCs to participate.

Having completed this course earlier this year, I can't recommend it highly enough. The work is primarily project based, and while intense, it is both transformative and satisfying.

From their site:
The FER Course is a 10-week (~30 hours) online course co-instructed by people with lived and living experience and researchers. The course is unique in that it is designed to build trusting relationships. We achieve this by enabling co-learning in a supportive and welcoming environment. For every individual who is trained, we empower them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to meaningfully engage in research.
