Help Shape Canada’s Bone Health Research for the Next Decade!

OsNET and the University of Waterloo are conducting a priority setting survey and looking for researchers, healthcare professionals, policy makers, other knowledge users, or persons with lived experience related to bone disease to share their voice in a two-step survey.

There are two steps in the study, both anonymous. The first step invites participants to submit what they think are important research priorities (up to five) related to bone health for Canadians in the next 10 years. Once all submissions are received, we will streamline and group them. It takes 10-15 minutes to complete the survey.

For step two, we will invite you to score submitted research priorities in groupings that are relevant to you. The criteria we will use to evaluate the research priorities relate to whether the research questions are answerable, have the potential to reduce the burden of bone disease or advance the field, and are accessible to, or are beneficial for equity-deserving groups. It takes about 10-30 minutes to complete the survey. Your submitted scores will be used to establish research priorities for bone health in Canadians over the next 10 years.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Research Assistant Hung Nguyen: hm5nguyen@uwaterloo.ca

AI Lay Summary Patient Partner Review Committee

We’re excited to share that the Network has been developing an AI Lay Summary Assistance Tool, designed to support knowledge translation by generating accessible lay summaries directly from the full text of peer-reviewed journal articles. The lay summary tool will soon be available for Network members to use. After creating each lay summary, we will be asking the article authors and a patient partner review committee to review the lay summaries for accuracy and accessibility.

We are in the process of creating the patient partner review committee and are seeking a few more interested patientpartners to join. The lay summaries can be reviewed asynchronously and at the discretion of the patient partner, meaning that there will not be a large time commitment involved.

If you know of any patient partners who may be interested in joining the review committee, please have them reach out to the Network Coordinator scrocke6@uwo.ca for further details.
