Knowledge Base Project Funded

06/07/2012 - 16:55

ICPHR member Dr. Tina Cook from Northumbria University/UK and colleagues were recently awarded a grant by JISC to set up a knowledge base pilot project for participatory research projects in the health field. The project is a cooperation with Sheffield University, Kings College London and the University of Cambridge in the UK and the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Berlin/Germany. There is currently no technological way of capturing and representing the impact of participatory research (PR). Focusing on participatory health research, this proposal brings together people with expertise in participatory, inclusive and action research, community engagement and impact analysis with technology designers to develop an open, online, interactive CERIF database.
