Consumer and Community Involvement @ TRI
TRI's Consumer Involvement & Engagement Program is focused on strengthening relationships between TRI and our greater community.
At TRI, we believe in the value of integrating health consumers' lived experiences, perspectives, and feedback - to help shape health research.
TRI invites consumers and community members who are interested in having an active role in the health research process to get in touch.
We are looking to have conversations with consumers of health services and to build long-lasting partnerships.
Connecting consumers with TRI scientists will help advance world-leading research.
