Although safeguarding research participants is a fundamental role of HRPPs, the research participant experience is rarely assessed systematically and remains an area with limited study. Empowering the Participant Voice is a collaborative project that created an infrastructure to streamline the collection of actionable research participant feedback and a framework for benchmarking within and between institutions over time to improve research. This session will explore this initiative and engage the audience in discussing its potential value to HRPPs and institutions in fulfilling their mission.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the significance of participant perspectives to the mission of HRPPs
Provide an overview of and lessons learned from a decade-long effort to assess research participant experiences through a validated Research Participant Perception Survey
Describe the various implementation approaches and impacts of the survey across diverse institutions
