NB-IRDT recognizes that public engagement has a tremendous role to play in research and can lead to significant benefits for everyone involved. Some benefits include:
- Fresh insights into research
- Better research questions
- Greater research impact
- Improved research quality
- Increased accountability and transparency of research
- Increased responsiveness of research to societal needs
- Opportunity to build trust between researchers and citizens
- Increased research visibility
- Developing new transferable skills
- Opening research access and understanding
As we move to having greater public engagement, NB-IRDT would like to invite interested parties to apply for two opportunities to participate and contribute as committee members.
