INSPIRE Research Portal New Resource Alert
Lessons that research teams learn around how to build and sustain partnerships are not always part of the work that is shared in communication and dissemination of study outcomes, and sites like the INSPIRE Research Portal have been developed to serve as a central repositories of knowledge, tools, and trainings that teams have developed to guide their own partnerships. The INSPIRE Research Portal brings together valuable resources from across the research landscape to make finding and adapting tools to support your partnerships efficient and easy. New tools and resources are frequently added. Have you developed or used a resource that has helped you build or strengthen a research partnership? Consider submitting it for inclusion in the INSPIRE Research Portal!
 One such recent addition is the PORTAL project’s Patient Engagement Toolkit, a web-based resource that draws from the experience of the now-completed PORTAL project to share tools for use in recruiting and training patient partners, as well as educational resources for patient partners to learn how to partner in research.
Longtime Patient Advisory Network partner Janice Tufte was also a Patient Advisor on the PORTAL project team and was a contributor to the development of the PORTAL Patient Engagement Toolkit. "I love the fact that our PORTAL Patient Engagement Toolkit was developed so that other research teams and stakeholders are able to replicate and/or adapt the existing helpful documents and tools to better reflect their own projects and work,” she says. “This patient-researcher co-designed toolkit was developed in hopes that others do not have to start at square one when engaging patients. They can use or modify our developed materials as they might need."
